Gabriel's Angels: Empowering Children with Special Needs
Our Approach to Compassionate Care

Our Approach to Compassionate Care

At the Heart of What We Do!

At Gabriel's Angels, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and tailored support for children with autism, learning disabilities, ADHD, and other special needs. Our passion is to empower children to thrive by offering specialised services that cater to their unique requirements and positively support the family at the same time.

Our Specialised Services

1

Therapeutic Animal-Assisted Activities

We can visit animals in various settings with your child if they are comfortable and willing to do so. Animals really play a crucial role in helping children develop social skills, emotional connections, and confidence. Through structured interactions with animals, children can experience joy, comfort, and a sense of companionship.

2

Linking Education and Learning

We can offer personalised educational programs incorporating your child’s schooling, designed to address the specific learning needs of each child. Our experienced care support workers use evidence-based strategies to enhance academic skills, promote cognitive development, and help foster a love for learning.

3

Behavioural Therapy

Gabriel’s Angels utilise behavioural therapy services which are tailored to help children with ADHD and autism manage their behaviours more effectively. We employ techniques such as Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to teach positive behaviours, improve communication skills, and reduce challenging behaviours.

The therapy is based on the principle that behaviour is learned and can be changed by manipulating the environment. ABA uses positive reinforcement, where desirable behaviours are rewarded to make them more likely to happen again.

4

Social Skills Training

We provide social skills training to help children navigate social interactions and build meaningful relationships. Gabriel’s Angels focus on improving communication, empathy, and cooperation, enabling children to connect with peers and adults in a supportive environment.

5

Family Support and Counselling

We understand that supporting a child with special needs involves the entire family. Our family support services include resources to help parents and caregivers understand their child's condition, develop effective strategies, and foster a positive and nurturing home environment.

6

Individual Care Plans

Each care plan is highly personal to the child’s needs, we work with the family to ensure that they are also fully supported, and the therapy is monitored and developed over time.

We’re here to help

A Unique, Person-Centered Approach

A Unique, Person-Centered Approach

At Gabriel's Angels, we believe in a unique person-centred approach. Gabriel’s Angels support your child in their own home and community, providing individual gentle support to build confidence and give families space and time to breathe. We can work closely with therapists already involved with the child and family. This collaborative method ensures that our services are seamlessly integrated into the child's existing care plan, enhancing the effectiveness of our interventions.

Fun Activities

Fun activities are a must!!! - We want to hear laughter and provide a safe space for your child to be themselves, to grow and thrive. We work closely with each family to identify what your child likes to do, what their individual triggers are, and what we can do to minimise trauma and help your child deal with past negative experiences

Fun Activities
Community Integration

Community Integration

We take children out into the community to engage in activities of their choice. Whether it's visiting parks, going to scouts, beavers, cubs, girl guides, participating in sports, or exploring local attractions, these outings help children develop social skills, build confidence, and enjoy new experiences in a supportive environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Gabriel’s Angels, building trust begins with empathy, consistency, and open communication. We take time to understand each child’s personality, needs, and preferences. We start with smiling, going along with what the child wants to do, ask if you can participate with their game or activity. It is important to take time with family members, before you meet the child, to discover what their interests are, what they like and equally important what they don’t like, and importantly any major negative behaviour triggers to avoid.

We take time to understand each child’s unique needs and personality, and listen with patience and care, as their families are the expert in the child. For families, we always try to ensure transparency and collaboration, so they feel confident and involved in their child’s journey.

Our person-centred approach ensures that children feel safe and valued, and families feel heard and supported. We also work closely with therapists already involved in the child’s care, creating a seamless and participative support system that enhance the effectiveness of our all interventions.

One of our most rewarding experiences was helping a child with autism build confidence through our Therapeutic Animal-Assisted Activities. Structured interactions with pets and animals helped the child develop emotional connections and social skills, and their joy was truly heartwarming. These activities are designed to bring comfort, companionship, and a sense of achievement—especially for children who struggle with traditional social settings.

My proudest moment was when a parent told me their child felt “safe and happy” for the first time going out shopping with someone other than his mum. It reminded me that the emotional wellbeing of children is just as important as their physical care. I still keep the thank you card it means so much to me. Mum always requests me as her child’s carer now and this makes me feel so proud, and it honestly doesn’t feel like work for me, the child feels like one of my own children.

I love being a positive part of a child’s journey—whether it’s through a comforting word, a shared laugh, or helping them overcome a challenge. At Gabriel’s Angels, we offer a wide range of services—from Behavioural Therapy using ABA techniques to Family Support and Counselling—to ensure every child and family feels empowered and uplifted. We also believe in the power of fun activities, laughter, and creating safe spaces where children can truly be themselves.

We always try to create a warm, predictable environment where children feel secure and understood. Our team uses positive reinforcement, clear boundaries, and gentle encouragement. We also incorporate Fun Activities tailored to each child’s interests, helping them feel joy and comfort while minimising trauma and anxiety. Whether it’s a visit with animals, sensory play, or quiet time, we adapt to what each specific child needs to feel safe.

Patience, empathy, creativity, plus a genuine love for children!  At Gabriel’s Angels, we believe in being adaptable and collaborative—working closely with families and professionals to ensure every child receives the best possible care. Our carers are trained in evidence-based strategies and understand the importance of building trust and emotional connection.

It is essential to focus on building relationships first. Every child is unique, and trust takes time. Be present, stay curious, and never underestimate the power of kindness and consistency. At Gabriel’s Angels, we support new carers with resources and guidance, and we encourage a holistic approach that includes working with families, therapists, and educators to create a nurturing environment.

Their energy, honesty, and imagination. Children see the world in such a magical way, and being part of their growth is a privilege. Whether it’s through Social Skills Training, Educational Support, or simply sharing a laugh during playtime, we aim to create a safe space where every child can thrive. We work closely with families to identify what their child enjoys, what their triggers are, and how we can help them heal from past negative experiences.
