Daily Living &
Life Skills Programs
Support Point helps NDIS Participants find Daily Living & Life Skills Program providers to Gain Independence and Confidence
At Support Point, we know that absolute independence and quality of life come from mastering daily living and life skills. This is why we find programs designed for NDIS participants who want to grow their confidence, increase their independence, and fully participate in their community. Through hands-on support, skill-building sessions, and group activities, we empower people of all abilities to manage their day-to-day lives more independently and reach their personal goals.
What Are Daily Living & Life Skills?
Daily living and life skills are the practical abilities needed to care for yourself, manage your home, and engage with others. These skills include personal care, cooking, cleaning, budgeting, social skills, and community access. For many people living with a disability, building these skills leads to increased confidence, greater independence, and a more fulfilling life.
The Support Point Coordination team ensures that the selected Daily Living and life Skills programs are tailored to each participant. We will ensure that the NDIS provider listens to your goals, needs, and challenges and then creates a plan that helps you develop the skills you want to learn, at your own pace, with support that respects your abilities and preferences.
