FAQs for Families

How does the matching process work?

We gather key information about your needs, location, availability, and goals. We then match you with suitable professionals who fit your criteria.

Do you vet tutors and support workers?

Yes. We ensure all professionals provide proof of qualifications, references, and relevant experience. Many also hold safeguarding training and Garda vetting.

What types of support can I request?

Home support, community outings, social communication support, sensory regulation assistance, learning support, structured routines, and more.

Is this a disability service?

No — this is a matching service that connects families with independent professionals. It will grow into a full agency model over time.

Can I request ongoing or once-off support?

Both options are available, depending on the professional’s capacity.

What if the match isn’t right?

We will support you to find an alternative professional where possible.

Where is this service available?

We have professionals based across Ireland, with stronger availability in Kildare and surrounding counties. While nationwide coverage is currently limited, our network is growing steadily, and we aim to expand our reach over time.
