MEET LUKE
Luke lives independently in a Dundaloo Supported Villa complex. His one bedroom villa features a kitchen, spacious living and balcony and shared outdoor living areas. Luke has found the level of support at the complex is just right for his needs.
“It’s quiet here”, says Luke. “I can set up my own things, I can go out and meet my friends and I have support when I need it. I go to the gym, the Men’s Shed and my day program, and I like being independent. It’s the best place I have ever lived.”
NDIS WORKING FOR JOEY
With NDIS Plan Supports Joey and staff have been taking Makaton lessons to increase their sign language skills. During this process staff have discovered that an emotional connection is just as important to Joey for effective communication as knowing the physical signs.
Joey is able to communicate most effectively when she uses Makaton signs with someone she has a relationship and emotional connection with. Understanding how this is important to Joey helps to support her to have meaningful communication.
MEET ELLIE
Nearly 3 years ago I moved into my new house in Forster. My cooking skills have improved and I feel more confident. I love living my own life and enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I do my cleaning and shopping with a little bit of help. I make my own decisions about money and paying the bills. I know there is support if I want it.
MEET DAMIEN
Damien wanted to make a movie and build his iPad skills. He made it a goal at his PATH. With the support of staff Damien planned and scripted a movie, enlisted friends to participate, filmed and edited the movie. He showed many people the end result and was proud of his achievements.
