Effective Interaction with Support Workers
Strong and effective communication between you and your support staff will lay a solid foundation for harnessing the benefits of the NDIS’s assistance with daily living programme. You can make sure you are being heard and that all of your demands and goals are being appropriately catered for by always communicating clearly.
Clearly stating your needs from the start is one of the most important aspects in creating this line of communication. A support person is there to assist you, but they need your advice to know exactly what you need help with.
It’s your life, and you get to make decisions, so don’t be scared to express an opinion or preference to your support person. Let your support worker know if you have any worries, enquiries, or problems; they are there to assist you.
Finally, make sure to give them timely feedback. The support staff member can then adjust as necessary to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process.
Setting goals
You’ll feel more motivated if you make and set attainable goals for yourself. You can also help your support person by outlining your objectives. With this guidance, it becomes much simpler to mould your own tailored assistance plan to suit your own needs and preferences.
You must take some time to think, contemplate, and discuss your objectives with loved ones before you can make any goals. Examine your goals, both immediate and long-term, and determine if they are explicit enough. Once you’ve made that decision, you need to be as specific as you can be with your support worker about your goals so they can help you on your journey.
Create routines
It will be much simpler for you to add structure and predictability to your daily life if you establish a routine that takes your goals into account. This facilitates the creation of a path to your objectives, which your support worker may help you follow.
A timetable will assist in developing these routines. It might be challenging to establish a routine at first, so we advise starting simple and building up gradually. If you let your support worker know that you want to create a routine, you may work on it together, which will make the process simpler and more enjoyable for both of you.
Individualised Care
Find a support professional who provides support in a person-centered manner. You are prioritised in person-centered care, which acknowledges your needs, objectives, and ambitions and empowers you to make decisions on your own. This strategy places a high emphasis on cooperation and open communication between you and your support worker on an equal footing.
Our support staff at Heartfelt Ability always takes a person-centered approach because we think everyone should be able to make decisions about how they want to live their lives. If you’re interested in the NDIS’said with daily living, get in touch with us right away.
