Our service coordinators will discuss your goals, interests and support needs. Together we’ll work towards increasing your confidence and life skills, you will get an opportunity to have hands on practical experience using technology, taking responsibility of your budget and finance, travel and work training but most importantly having fun making friends and participating.
We focus on person centred active support. This is an approach that is fundamental to the provision of effective, person-centred support. It is a way of providing assistance to people that focuses on making sure individuals are engaged and have the ability to participate in all areas of their life.
The practical outcome of person centred active support is better engagement. This means we explore ways of supporting you the way you want to be supported, with guidance from you, your family, community group and anyone you want us to connect to. We don’t believe in a rigid system with broad solutions that compromise our level of service. Hence the way we manage the delivery of our group services depends on our clients, disability supports needs, interests and engagement. For example, many of our Recreation groups plan activities as a team, manage the social calendar, research businesses and use their skills to create a personalised event plan for their group.
