Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or supporting a loved one on the spectrum, is a unique journey filled with distinct strengths, challenges, and aspirations. At Liorn Support Services, we see the individual first. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to support, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate, tailored care that empowers individuals to live fulfilling lives.
Understanding Autism: A Spectrum of Strengths and Needs
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts with others, and experiences the world. The term 'spectrum' is key—it highlights the wide range of abilities and characteristics among autistic people. While some individuals may require significant daily support, others may live independently while still benefiting from specific services. We celebrate this diversity and focus on understanding your unique perspective, strengths, and goals.
How Our NDIS Supports Can Empower You
Navigating the NDIS can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. As a registered NDIS provider, Liorn Support Services offers a comprehensive range of supports designed to align with your NDIS plan and personal goals. Our aim is to build capacity, foster independence, and enhance your overall well-being.
Here are some of the ways we can help:

- Developing Daily Living Skills: We provide practical, hands-on support to build confidence and independence in everyday tasks, such as personal care, meal preparation, budgeting, and using public transport.
