The Role of Support Workers in Promoting Social Inclusion for Children with Disabilities

Social inclusion is essential for every child, and support workers play a key role in ensuring children with disabilities can participate fully in their communities. At TomCare, we recognise the importance of fostering social inclusion and offer personalised support to help children build connections and develop social skills.

Our support workers engage children in activities that promote interaction with peers, whether it’s attending local events, joining sports programs, or participating in group activities. These experiences help children build confidence, improve communication, and develop friendships.

Support workers also provide assistance during social interactions, helping children navigate challenges like taking turns, initiating conversations, or managing emotions. With gentle guidance, children can practise these skills in real-world settings.

TomCare’s personalised approach ensures that support is tailored to each child’s abilities and interests, creating opportunities for meaningful social engagement. By working together, we can promote social inclusion and help every child thrive in their community.
