Development of Life Skills

Development of daily living and life skills focuses on training and development activities undertaken by the participant or their carer to increase their ability to live as autonomously as possible, including supports that will enhance the ability of the participant to travel, use public transport independently, practice and maintain personal hygiene regularly and many more. Life Skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable humans to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of life.

We understand your goals and work with you and your family or carers to put in place supports to develop everyday skills with a particular focus on building confidence and independence. If you have a unique skill that you want to learn, AAAR Ability Assist will work with you to reach your goal. We also improve your skills for communication and independent living. We provide services to assist you and your families or carers to navigate all the problems faced in your daily life, as well as to implement strategies that will increase your potential to manage these problems.

General Life Skills Development

Over our years of experience within the disability and community sectors we have come to recognise and appreciate the level of complexity faced by people with a disability when tackling everyday tasks and activities. We can provide training and development across a range of life skills, including:

  • Personal hygiene: such as showering, toileting and personal care
  • Nutrition: such as shopping for groceries and planning for and preparing a healthy meal

Assistance – Personal Care

An NDIS Carer is vital for the health, wellbeing, and development of a disabled individual. As such, at NCS Group we have placed great importance on ensuring that all carers we recommend are well- qualified, caring, and friendly. Additionally, with NDIS funding, the cost of carers is subsidised, as they are vital people in a disabled individual’s life.

We can provide the support and care for those NDIS recipients who require it. Some of the services provided as a carer is:

  • General day- to- day hygiene and personal grooming
    This would include showering, brushing the individual’s teeth, etc., and in general ensuring that they are able to maintain a basic level of cleanliness. Hence, this would lead to the disabled individual’s feeling more put together and accomplished.
  • Ensuring that medication is taken
    Medication may be a big factor in the lives of these disabled individuals, however, remembering to take them might not be so easy. Hence, by having a carer who is able to provide them with their needs as frequently as required, this could allow them to go about their days without having to stress about their medication.
  • Cook them meals
    Having a carer simply cook meals for the dependent would take out a large stress of what they are eating. This would also prevent them from buying take- out for most meals, as this is very unhealthy.
    And finally, having a carer could simply provide the companionship that some NDIS participants truly yearn for. Carers are able to provide comfort and support in both the highs and lows of life.

You can benefit at each of these stages of life with a planned approach that examines individual abilities, needs and goals. With proper planning and networking, we can support you through life’s transitions and on to achieving your goals.

Includes short and long-term supports that focus on strengthening the participant’s ability to coordinate their supports, and to assist them to live at home and participate in their community.

Includes:

  • support connection
  • coordination of supports
