Do you feel limited by what’s on offer and want to decide how you are supported and who does it?

Are you working in the sector and want to learn more about self direction in Australia?

In this recording you hear 3 people who all self direct their supports:

• Learn the benefits of self directed support in terms you can understand.
• Discover different approaches to working with the available organisations.
• Discover how you can self direct supports under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
• Hear firsthand accounts on how to make the most out of your support mechanisms from people who understand.

Our sessions are live captioned and AUSLAN interpreted, although the recordings are not yet transcribed.

Our online sessions are highly practical and designed to assist those in services looking to support people with disabilities take more control. You get to learn firsthand what people are saying they need and the solutions they are seeking.

Thanks Michelle!

Transcript:

“You find people using words like person-centred and individualised a lot, but only a few really understand the profound meaning and transformation of experiences involved. It’s a huge cultural shift. What Libby Ellis of InCharge brings to our attention is the incredible importance of sustained real life experiences and the great insights that come from a hard won, values based analysis of experience. This depth of insight is essential to the success of person centred approaches. This depth is also a hallmark of the professional development opportunities pioneered at InCharge.”
