1. Understanding Your NDIS Plan
Before diving into the services What Ability offers, it’s crucial to understand the basics of your NDIS plan. Your plan will detail the funding you have available across different categories, such as Core Supports, Capacity Building, and Capital Supports. For What Ability’s services, you’ll mainly be using your Core Supports funding, which covers assistance with daily life and community participation.
2. Identify Your Needs
Take some time to identify your family’s specific needs and goals. What types of support are most beneficial for you or your family member? Are you looking for community access, social activities, or perhaps some short-term accommodation (1:1 STA (Camp)? What Ability offers a range of services tailored to meet diverse needs, including:
- 1:1 Community Access: Personalised support to help participants engage in community activities, build social skills, and enjoy outings safely.
- Overnight Camps / 1:1 STA: Fun and safe overnight care where participants can make new friends, try new activities, and develop independence.
Behaviour Support Plans: Our inhouse team of experienced Behaviour Support Practitioners are ready to help build out a tailored strategy designed to implement positive interventions to improve overall behaviour and quality of life.
3. Match Services to Your NDIS Goals
Review your NDIS goals and see how What Ability’s services align with them. For example, if one of your goals is to increase social participation, our 1:1 community access programs can help achieve this. If building independence and trying new activities is a priority, our overnight camps are an excellent choice. More examples could be:
- Goal: Enhance social skills and build friendships by participating in activities with people of a similar age. Match with: 1:1 Community Access
- Goal: Develop skills for greater independence in daily life and new experiences. Match with: Overnight Camps. Participants have the opportunity to try new activities, make decisions, and take on responsibilities in a fun setting. These activities could be cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning up after a meal, setting up the table for dinner etc
- Goal: Improve physical health through regular exercise and active participation in physical activities. Match with: 1:1 Community Access.
