Community Participation
People with disabilities are supported to explore and participate in healthy, meaningful activities and lifestyles with community organisations, services and business in the community. For example drama, cooking, jewellery making, swimming, go to TAFE, Adult Education, computer classes, literacy and numeracy, driver preparation classes, work experience and travel training. Through this process people learn about themselves, make choices and develop self advocacy and leadership skills.
