About Waymaker
A specialist, not a generalist.
Waymaker Pathways does one thing: structured one-to-one support that helps young adults with disability build real-world capability for adult life. We are deliberately narrow, because the transition years are the part most often left to chance.
Why this
Why this, and not everything.
The moment we work in
School ends and the structure ends with it. Goals for adult life exist; the everyday practice that would make them possible often does not.
What we do
One-to-one support in real settings, organised around specific capabilities the participant chose, using the STEP Method.
What we do not do
Not SIL, not 24-hour or overnight care, not clinical or behaviour support, and not care beyond what our workers can safely provide.
Meet the founder
Joe Surace
Small on purpose. You will speak to the person who runs the service.
Joe’s background is in front-line work with young people: a youth officer in juvenile detention, a teacher’s aide supporting students with complex needs, and a mentor to high school students. Waymaker grew out of the question that came up in all three — what happens to these young people after the structure stops?
Joe sees Waymaker Pathways as more than a business: a step toward giving young adults back the power to write their own story, whatever the circumstances they started with.
