Holistic Approach
Develop skills to become independent
Are you looking for a job, but don’t know where to start? Do you want to move into your own home, but have no idea what’s involved? Do you want to depend less on others so you can lead your own life?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we might be able to help. Self++ is a coaching and training service that helps you develop the skills you need to become independent.
We work primarily with people on the Autism Spectrum or who have a mild to moderate intellectual disability over the age of 15. Even if you don’t fit into this description, feel free to have a chat with us to see if we can help you out.
The support and skills you need
NDIS coaching and support
Self++ takes a holistic approach to helping you achieve your goals. We like to work in conjunction with other support workers and professionals you’re working with, instead of being siloed away.
This allows us to get to know your strengths and areas you need extra support in, so we can help you develop strategies with the best chance of success.
We are selective about the people we work with. We only work with people who we can actually help out, have the right attitude and are willing to put in the effort to achieve their goals.
Our Process
- During your free strategy session we learn about your current situation to see how we can best support you
- Using specialised tools, we work with you to set specific goals that you can work towards
- We work with you and your support team to help you achieve your goals over time
- Goals are reviewed regularly and changes to your support are made as required

What does a tech blog have to do with a disability service provider, you might ask? Back in December 2020, Self++ CEO Jonathan Laloz wrote an article for Zapier blog on the potential benefits of hiring neurodiverse team members.

Self++ CEO Jonathan Laloz wrote a blog article for Clickability back in October 2020 around how having autism isn't the end of the world, and with the right support that anyone can thrive.
Case Study
Helping someone with ASD find accommodation in an overheating market
We recently helped a participant move out of their student accommodation into somewhere more suitable for their transitioning lifestyle.
While there was a level of anxiety around the whole process, especially given Canberra’s low vacancy rates and a high level of competition, we were able to provide reassurance by explaining the process of finding a rental, allowing a sufficient timeframe and by having backup plan of remaining in student accommodation.
During our sessions, we went through the property search, inspection and application processes and were able to successfully find a share-house in a central location that met our participant’s needs.
Providing support based on life experience
Members of the Self++ team either identify as neurodiverse or have a close personal relationship with someone who is, and we embrace a culture of inclusion and self-improvement.
Our coaches and trainers have generally been through and achieved what they are helping others achieve.
