NDPEOPLE™ not only explores how these three concepts interact, but also considers the enablers and barriers to performance. This is achieved through the lens of energy accounting or spoon theory.

​

We consider which of the three elements (PEO) enables a good fit, and which may be a barrier to achieving fit.

NDPEOPLE also uses the concept of 5 batteries - social, emotional, cognitive, sensory and physical. Each battery has maximum 5 bars of power per activity.

​

Energy can be drained or charged in each to affect the performance of an activity in a certain context. This is examined across a week to determine energy leaks.

​

​

This practice aligns with the neuro-affirming paradigm, situated within the social and human rights model of disability.  We embrace neuro-biological differences as a natural expression of human diversity, and therefore not as a deficit to be cured or fixed. We acknowledge there are enablers and barriers to any performance in occupation (activity in which we use to occupy our time).

​

​

​​​We provide a safe and welcoming space for the LGBTQIA+ community​​​​​

​​​​

​​

 

We acknowledge and lament the past and continuing plight of the traditional owners and custodians of the land, sea and waterways on which we work and live, and pay our respects to their Elders Past, Present and Emerging, and honour their communities and their  living culture.  We acknowledge that lutruwita (so called 'Tasmania') where we reside continues to provide the palawa with a meaningful connection to traditional food, ritual, medicine & craft as their way of being, doing and becom​ing.
