Fun and Friendship: Inside What Ability Camps

We love our local Melbourne gaming arcades – especially since they are open rain, hail or shine. When it comes to What Ability and providing the safest disability support for our participants, we’re big fans of our local arcades! When it comes to supporting NDIS participants and ensuring inclusive community access, Melbourne’s arcades shine bright. These venues provide a fun and safe environment that promotes:

Social interaction
Skill development
Community engagement

For individuals aiming to improve their social skills, the arcade offers a space to interact with peers, fostering communication and relationship-building in a relaxed setting. The various games and activities available can help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive abilities, aligning with goals related to physical and mental development. Additionally, the arcade structure is a safe and stimulating place for participants to practise independence, build confidence, and experience a sense of accomplishment. By integrating these experiences, a local gaming arcade supports the holistic development of NDIS participants, making strides towards their personal and social goals! Whether you’re battling it out in a classic game of pinball or teaming up for a high-stakes round of air hockey, arcades are a great tool to build confidence and improve social skills. With participants enjoying community access year-round, the answer was clear!
