Scope of service
The Human Flourishing Practice™ provides consultation, capacity-building, family support and organisational practice-development services. Services are tailored to individual and organisational circumstances and are delivered within Dr Carol’s professional knowledge, skills and experience.
The Human Flourishing Practice™ does not provide psychological assessment, diagnosis, medical or psychiatric treatment, emergency or crisis services, or regulated NDIS Specialist Behaviour Support services.
A shared way forward
Looking beyond the diagnosis
A diagnosis is only one part of a young person’s story.
Every child and young person has their own strengths, hopes, relationships, interests, challenges and ways of being in the world. Their ability to participate and feel that they belong is also shaped by the people, places, opportunities and expectations around them.
The Schultz Human Flourishing Model™ gives families and professional teams a shared language for thinking about these wider conditions — so planning can be more connected, practical and focused on the young person’s everyday life.
For the people walking alongside a young person
The Human Flourishing Practice™ can support organisations and teams working with children and young people with disability, particularly where there are concerns about connection, participation, belonging, learning, wellbeing or future opportunity.

Working alongside existing supports
Many young people and families are already working with dedicated support workers, therapists, educators, coordinators and community services.
The Human Flourishing Practice™ is designed to complement — not replace — those relationships. It can help the people around a young person step back from separate appointments and individual goals, and see the bigger picture together.
The focus is simple: helping create the conditions in everyday life that make participation, connection and belonging more possible.
For parents and carers
You know your child better than anyone. Sometimes, though, it can feel as though everyone is focused on what is difficult, what is missing, or what needs to be fixed.
This approach makes room for a different conversation. It begins with your child as a whole person — their strengths, interests, relationships, hopes and sense of belonging — and considers what might help them take part in the life they want.
Funding arrangements
Some families and organisations may use private funds or, where appropriate, NDIS funding arrangements. Whether a service can be funded through an NDIS plan depends on the participant’s plan, goals, management type and applicable NDIS requirements. Families and providers should confirm funding suitability before services commence.
The Human Flourishing Practice™ works alongside families, organisations and existing support teams. Services are not presented as NDIS supports, and families and organisations should seek independent advice about individual funding arrangements where needed. The Human Flourishing Practice™ is not a substitute for clinical, psychological, psychiatric, medical, case-management, statutory child-protection, educational or emergency services.
