Ky's Story With BlueWing | NDIS Disability Service | Episode 1

Meet Ky - Our aspirational and inspirational client.
Ky was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) just before his 4th birthday.
BlueWing played a critical role in helping Mum Ally feel comfortable and at ease knowing she had the support to unpack and understand Ky’s NDIS plan in order to put the necessary supports in place.
Through these supports and interventions, Ky is now proud of himself that he can talk, communicate with others and even aspires to join the Army so he can fulfil his goal of helping people.
Our staff have the same empathy, care and concern for our clients as they do for their own families and will always support the client in working towards achieving their goals.

Hi, Welcome to the BlueWing show, where we're going to talk about relief, support, care and family for our participants. It is our mission to show you there is help and support and people that care about the individuals.
I want to join the army because I think it's a fun job and I really want to be someone who would help people.
It was just before his fourth birthday he actually got diagnosed. Like I said, I sort of knew something before he was like about six months. To be honest I had no idea what autism was. I never even heard of it, so I didn't have any idea what he needed, or who I'm supposed to call, or to be honest even in the NDIS like what he's entitled to, the help to get. And Zoe came over one day, I’d made a call and she came over one day and we just, we clicked, we clicked because she was the first person who actually made sense to me and I didn't feel like a total failure as a Mother, because I was starting to feel a bit like that.
Okay, today we're going to paint a simple flower painting. A simple, just a simple pot, maybe. I will paint something on my canvas and I'll try my best to guide Ky to be able to do the same on his.
Ky’s had a lot of people come in and try to support him. So far, we've had people come in and they've been great but he won't, for the second visit there is no second visit. Jonathan's come in and Ky has really taken to him and even to get him to go in the car, with respite and go to his hydrotherapy, and he's actually done it now without me, that's massive. Yeah, that's a massive change I’m proud that he is getting out there.
Like, when I, when I came I was told that there's been other people who have tried to help him get out there. I’m very happy that he's finally taking that first step and I hope that, It’s going to keep building up and increasing and helping him have independence with making friends and being sociable in the community.
Zoe is fun, exciting, enjoyable and is fun communicative with.
There was help out there for Ky, with his autism. But when you're trying to work with the child
with disability and autism, and going through a crisis that is affecting the whole family, which then sets him off way worse, there wasn't any help and you came and saved us and we always forever be grateful.
I think growing up and going through the traumas I had and through the system, I had a lot of trauma but trust issues with, with authorities and I don't just mean like police and all those things I think just anyone in general that sort of had a bit of control outside of myself.
I think when other services came in, it wasn't about the family, it was just about Ky and I think they missed how hard it was for me to be able to connect and put my trust in other people with my son. And Zoe came in and we had a cry on a bathroom floor and it was a good cry and I think that really changed everything in I just trusted her, she, we connected and I knew that she was on the same level as me as the mother to really wanting to help my boy. I think not being able to trust the outside because of what I'd gone through, to do the best for my son, having someone who came in and took that time to understand where I was coming from, what I'd gone through. And me as a child being failed, it was the first time I realised that someone wasn't going to fail my son.
He’s changed, like everything's changed. I'd say his speech, getting speech therapy once a week has helped massively. He would have a hoodie. When I had to buy them, they had to be long because he didn't want anyone to see, he wouldn't look at people, he really didn't communicate. Now, the speech has sort of opened him up to the different perspectives, I guess.
Before, I couldn't really talk and communicate with people, as now I'm able to communicate with
friends and other moderators. It's not so hard when you're doing it in real life now.
