Community Participation
About The Service
Participation in community activities is at the core of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). At Manaia Assist, our experienced managers work closely with participants and their significant others or family to develop a support plan tailored to individual needs, goals, strengths and weaknesses. We work to ensure the environment and activity meets the participant’s unique needs, and are experienced in managing challenging behaviours to ensure a calm and stable outing.
Community Participation Outings Include:
- Accompanying participants to recreational, social or educational activities
- Supporting our participants when they take part in social or family gatherings
- Attending appointments
- Assisting with trips to the grocery store or bank
- Meeting with friends for social gatherings
- Connecting participants with a range of activities including swimming, sports, RSL clubs, horse riding, sensory time, BBQs feeding the homeless, horticulture and gardening, travel training, or meeting role models including rugby players and firefighters
