Abdur

Abdur was initially at risk of moving to residential or foster care. However, in November 2023, he began attending Centre 404’s After-School Club through an expedited referral.

His transition involved gradual steps, including overnight and full weekend stays. Consistently supported by the same staff, Abdur’s independence and communication skills have improved, and his obsessive fixation on door fobs and keys has diminished. He now seeks warmth and care from the staff. 

Over the past year, Abdur has settled well, enjoys his time at the centre, regulates his emotions better and has shown no behaviours of challenge. Consequently, he is no longer at risk of moving to residential care and has been removed from the child protection plan.
