Independent living and life skills development
If you’re an adult with a disability, living independently can be a challenge. If you’re the parent, guardian or caregiver of an adult with a disability, helping them move towards their goal of self-sufficiency can be just as challenging.
Life skills development services and activities can assist people with disabilities to live more independently in their home and community. ConnectAbility Australia provides one-on-one guidance to help you and your family with this transition by creating an independent living skills plan.
What is included in an independent living skills plan?
Each plan is designed to assist people with disabilities in achieving the greatest level of independence possible within their community.
Independent living plans are self-directed, meaning that individuals have full control over the disability services in Port Stephens that they receive through person-centred planning. Despite being tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, a typical independent living skills plan includes:
- Personal hygiene
- Nutrition
- Maintaining cleanliness in the home
- Communication
