Disability support plays an important role in helping people with disabilities live with greater independence, confidence and choice. Building skills in disability support gives you the opportunity to understand individual needs, recognise the importance of inclusive care and help people participate more fully in everyday life.
Along the way, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of person-centred support, communication, individual needs and strategies for promoting independence, along with the knowledge needed to support people with disabilities in different settings.
