Family Faces ‘Devastating’ Loss of Support for Son with Disability

Published 11th September 2018

A mother says she faces a “devastating” loss of short-term accommodation for her son with disability, and is calling for greater access to this support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Louise Anderson spoke to Pro Bono News about her 18-year-old son Dean, who has severe autism, an intellectual disability and epilepsy.

Dean regularly attends a short-term accommodation home for children with disability, run by not-for-profit Catholic organisation, Villa Maria Catholic Homes (VMCH).

This support, which Anderson describes as a “lifeline” to her family, has become a vital part of Dean’s routine and a means for him to build his social skills.
