NDIS Support Resource Library
The founder of deCYPHER games, Gaspar, has been doing disability support work since 2019. As part of the support work he does, he is always developing tools, games, and learning activities to use with clients and he’s ended up with quite a nice little library of stuff, so we’ve decided to share those resources here for everyone to enjoy!. These resources were designed with specific people in mind, for example, those on the autism spectrum or with a brain injury. However, there is a lot of cool stuff here that ANYONE can have fun with!
Obviously, different activities will work (or not) for different people. A particular style of puzzle or game might be too easy, too hard, too simple, or too complicated. If you’d like us to make something specific for you (or make a slightly different version of something in our library) please click here for some more information about custom made support resources.
We hope you find this useful and enjoy these free tools.
