NDIS support<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\nWhat is the goal of supported independent living?<\/b><\/p>\n
The goal of Supported Independent Living (SIL) is to empower individuals with disabilities to live as independently as possible while receiving necessary support tailored to their specific needs. This support framework is designed to:<\/p>\n
\n- Promote Independence<\/b>: SIL aims to equip participants with the skills and confidence to manage their daily lives with minimal assistance. This includes helping with tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care.<\/li>\n
- Build Skills<\/b>: Through personalised support, participants can develop and enhance their skills in various areas, including financial management, household chores, and social interactions.<\/li>\n
- Enhance Quality of Life<\/b>: By providing a supportive environment, SIL helps participants achieve a higher quality of life. This includes ensuring their safety and well-being through 24-hour support if needed.<\/li>\n
- Achieve Goals<\/b>: SIL is goal-oriented, focusing on both short-term and long-term objectives. Whether it’s gaining employment, pursuing education, or simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle, SIL support workers help participants work towards these goals.<\/li>\n
- Community Integration<\/b>: Another critical goal is to facilitate the integration of participants into their communities. This is achieved through assistance with transportation, social activities, and community engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
