Disability Support Services
BETTAbility Disability Support Services offers low to medium support care in a person’s home or within the community, with the aim of empowering Participants to live their best lives possible through effective disability support.
We provide a range of care and support services that include, but are not limited to:
**Capacity Building / Skill Development**
This service focuses on capacity building by helping individuals develop and learn various skills tailored to their interests, needs, and abilities. This enhancement not only benefits the individual but also improves the lives of those they may care for. Skills taught may include cooking, budgeting assistance, completing household tasks, parenting, using public transport, and engaging in pro-social community participation.
**Group-Based Workshops / Activities**
We support Participants in attending planned workshops and activities that foster community participation, such as meditation sessions, cooking workshops, self-defense courses, language learning, coffee and beverage preparation, fitness coaching sessions (including game-playing), art and craft workshops, and gardening, among others.
**Daily Personal Care**
Our services include assisting Participants with their daily personal care and hygiene needs in a manner that respects their abilities. This support is designed to maintain their independence and dignity while encouraging them to become the experts of their own lives, discovering new ways of seeing and doing things.
**Transport Support**
We offer transport support to help Participants access services outside their homes, which may include assistance in attending Allied Health appointments or engaging in activities that contribute to achieving their goals.
**Social and Community Participation**
We aim to support Participants in becoming active contributors to their communities, exploring new passions, and meeting new people.
**Assessments**
Our services include help with completing Positive Behaviour Support Plans, parental capacity assessments, and household functionality assessments that identify barriers and offer potential solutions.
