Development Life Skills for NDIS participants in Melbourne
Orion Care assists participants to develop, make choices and decide what is important for them in their life. This results in them having more control over their lives.
That’s why the first step in the development of life skills and goals for NDIS participants in Melbourne is for us to understand the participant’s goals. It is also why each support plan is tailored to provide participants with the skills to enable them to develop the life skills that builds both their independence and confidence. The overall aim is for participants to live as autonomously as possible.
However, our support workers will assess the physical and mental condition of the participants so that they can better optimise the service and guide them in accomplishing household and other tasks. This will ultimately help the participants reach their objectives and live life happily, without depending on anyone. So, if you require the best assistants helping with life skills training and development for NDIS participants in Melbourne, you are at the right place.
Our services include but limited to the following:
Meal Planning and Preparation.
We can assist with helping you plan nutritious and healthy meals that are also delicious to eat. In addition, we can assist with training on how to prepare meals in a hygienic way.
This is a great way to gain confidence in the kitchen and live more independently. Therefore, when it comes to NDIS development of life skills in Melbourne, you don’t have to look for another organisation since you have got everything you need at Orison Care.
Travel Training
Our services include planning your journey and accessing public transport, as well as private forms of transport. We can also assist with providing information about basic road safety rules. We understand how important it is to get out and about safely in the community and the challenges faced by participants with disabilities.
Assistance with Budgeting
Our daily living support in Melbourne is not only limited to meal planning and travel training. It comprises assistance with other services as well. And in this domain, budgeting and managing finances is an important part since it can be challenging for most people. However, learning to handle money, including budgeting and saving means participants can get more out of life. It will also enable participants to enjoy life more and to live more independently.
We look at a participant’s goals – including whether they would like to save for a long term goal such as a short holiday to visit a relative or friend or buy a new phone – so that we can put a savings plan in place. We then give practical guidance on how to achieve these goals.
Art and Hobbies
Having hobbies, whether on your own, or with others, is a great way to enjoy life. It is also a good way to learn new skills and make friends. However, it can be difficult for participants with disabilities to attend these types of activities. That’s where Orison Care can support. We can assist with getting you to activities, as well as providing support while you are there.
Renting and Bills
If you have recently moved out of home, or hoping to do so in the future, then understanding what is involved in renting a home is important. This includes both rental expenses, as well as utility expenses such as gas, electricity and water. Even if you have been renting for a while, you may need some extra assistance in understanding your expenses, especially if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed. That’s why we help participants to understand what is involved in renting their home and the associated expenses.
