Mighty Bees
All Abilities Group
We are really happy to be able to provide a program for neurodiverse kids in our community, who need that extra level of understanding and support.
We are delighted that Gabbi Tauber continues to deliver this program. Gabbi is supported by two Assistant Coaches. Danny Shavitsky has over forty years’ experience as a player and qualified coach in a variety of club, school and holiday program settings. He has previously worked as a secondary school teacher and case manager in the youth sector, so is well-placed to support your children.
​
Caren Lubofsky, who is also the Program Co-ordinator, has lived experience with neurodiversity which allows her to understand and guide your children, and hopefully provide some valuable tips along the way. Please reach out to her if have any queries about this program or neurodiversity in general.
Gabbi has been with us since we ‘kicked off’ in early 2023. She has extensive experience in running group sessions and working with neurodiverse children in individual and group settings. Gabbi is an occupational therapist, which provides her with additional skills to support your kids and a diverse way of thinking and being able to adapt to their needs. Gabbi also has exceptional football skills and fancy footwork!

Please be aware that registration is required to ensure that your child is covered by our insurance. It is your responsibility to complete registration and should you not do so, this will be taken as acceptance that your child is uninsured and that you will not hold Maccabi Victoria or any of their clubs liable for any injury sustained during this program.
We are not registered for NDIS, however our program may be covered by your NDIS plan. For any queries, we suggest you contact your LAC, who should be able to support you with this. More info here: https://www.ndis.gov.au/participants/using-your-plan/who-can-help-start-your-plan
As our coaches are training a group of children and are not able to provide 1:1 support, please ensure that a parent, carer or support worker remains present, if you feel that your child may require this extra level of support.
