Supporting a disabled person with Group/Centre Activities care needs involves a range of compassionate and practical activities aimed at enhancing their participation and enjoyment.

 

Firstly, the support person ensures the individual's transportation to and from the group or center, either by assisting with public transport or providing a safe and comfortable ride. Once there, they facilitate social interactions by introducing the individual to others and promoting inclusive participation.

 

During activities, the support person helps the disabled person engage by offering physical assistance or adaptive equipment as necessary, ensuring their safety and comfort throughout. They actively involve the individual in group discussions, games, or exercises, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. Additionally, they provide emotional support and encouragement, helping the person overcome any barriers to participation and boosting their confidence.

 

After the activities, the support person assists with transportation back home, ensuring the individual's needs are met until they are safely settled. Throughout the day, they maintain open communication, attentively listening to the person's preferences and concerns, and adapting their support accordingly.

 

Overall, the support person's care activities aim to promote the disabled person's autonomy, well-being, and enjoyment of group-centered activities.
