COURSE OVERVIEW:
Welcome to the Assistance with Daily Life Activities in NDIS course, designed to equip support workers with essential skills for providing high-quality assistance to NDIS participants. Throughout this course, we will explore various aspects of daily life activities, the role of support workers within the NDIS framework, and principles of person-centred care.
Daily life activities encompass a wide range of tasks crucial for individuals' independence and well-being. We will define these activities, emphasising their significance for NDIS participants and the vital role support workers play in assisting with them.
Support workers in the NDIS context have diverse responsibilities, from providing direct assistance to building trust and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. We will delve into their duties, the importance of rapport-building, and effective collaboration strategies within NDIS services.
Empowering NDIS participants for independence is a core goal. We will discuss strategies for enhancing daily living skills, promoting self-advocacy, and fostering decision-making abilities to support long-term success and autonomy.
Understanding the NDIS framework is crucial for effective support delivery. We will cover the purpose, eligibility criteria, participant plans, funding models, and service delivery approaches within the NDIS to provide a comprehensive overview.
Person-centred care is central to NDIS services. We will explore respecting individual choices, tailoring support services to individual needs, and promoting dignity and autonomy in care delivery to ensure personalised and holistic assistance.
Effective communication with NDIS participants, families, carers, and NDIS teams is essential. We will discuss communication strategies, collaboration techniques, and the importance of sharing progress and challenges to facilitate optimal support delivery.
Upholding ethical standards, maintaining confidentiality, and adhering to professional codes of conduct are fundamental in NDIS support work. We will explore ethical considerations and professionalism in daily life assistance within the NDIS framework.
Assisting with daily activities such as eating, bathing or showering, grooming, dressing, toileting, mobility, safety management, and documentation requires specific skills and techniques. We will cover these areas comprehensively to ensure holistic and effective support for NDIS participants.
By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation necessary to provide person-centred, dignified, and empowering assistance in daily life activities for NDIS participants, contributing to their overall well-being and quality of life.
