We believe that all people with a disability have the right to choose the life they want to live. Our aim is to work together with you to plan and prioritise the support you need, so that you can achieve your goals. We offer disability services including physiotherapy, early childhood intervention, support workers and support coordination -Capacity Building- Early Childhood Supports through the Key Worker Model ABLE-i is a service provider for early childhood supports, using best practice through the Key Worker model. We work with children under 7 year of age with Developmental Delay, Autism Spectrum Disorder & Cognitive Disability. ABLE-i use a wide range of evidence based practices to design and implement individual programs and supports for your child to achieve their NDIS goals. We work with carers/families and together we plan and work with your child to build capacity relating to their individual needs. The Key Worker will help you to better understand the NDIS plan and support you through the NDIS plan review process. ABLE-i can develop individualized programs and implement strategies to develop skills in a wide range of areas. Such as; • Communication • Social Learning (Relationships & Play skills) • Independent Living & Self-care Skills (bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, sleeping etc) • Emotional and Behavioural Self Regulation • Daily/weekly routines • Transition • Fine and Gross Motor Development • Support with Daily and Community Participation • Personal Safety • Learning & more ABLE-i can work with your child in their own home and or community (i.e. Kindergarten or school). Meaning that therapy / learning is meaningful, practical and effective. ABLE-i can make arrangements and provide support and recommendation with purchasing of equipment and resources, using the core funding, to support your child to achieve goals and develop greater independence. Therapy Assistant We can support you to connect with Therapy Assistant. The therapy assistant can help implement your therapy programs. They will work with you under the guidance of a professional, giving you increased opportunities to practice skill between therapy sessions, providing better goal outcomes. This is at a lower cost to you than the cost of a therapist, allowing for better use of your NDIS funds. Support Coordination Support Coordination can be Plan or Self Managed. You just need to remember to tell the NDIS to include it in your plan. Having a Support Coordinator to assist you to better understand and get the most from your NDIS plan can make your NDIS journey easier and less stressful. Support Coordinators will coordinate and find services and assist you with the plan budget and preparation for plan reviews. If things change during your plan they will assist you to apply for a unscheduled or early plan review. -Core Supports- Support Worker (For all ages) ABLE-i can help you to connect with a support worker which best suits your needs. This service at ABLE-i starts with an initial meeting with a support worker who will discuss your support needs and care in detail; to gain a better understanding of what your needs are and the kind of support you require. ABLE-i can arrange for support workers to assist with Daily Activities and Community Access Such as; daily routines and independent living skills, shopping, recreation, cooking, employment and learning support. For our younger participants it can provide families and carers with some well needed respite. Contact us admin@able-i.com.au
