KO-NEKT ‘skills & play’ Centre is a specially designed childcare centre aimed at children and young people aged 5-18yrs with Additional Support Needs (ASN). KO-NEKT has been created for children and young people who require extra support beyond that provided by existing community, education, family or health service providers. Its launch in 2017 sought to initiate a new future for families whose children have ASN. The centre challenges the traditional ways of supporting children with ASN. It is run by social champions whose values promote community wealth building and a belief that everyone should have access to opportunities to thrive and become confident in their own ability.
