Community Participation is essential for the health and wellness of people with disabilities. Through the NDIS core supports, participants can access the support they need to partake in various activities in the community. Community Participation has significant benefits which include building the social skills of the participants as well as improving their emotional well-being. Hence, NDIS Community Participation is indeed the right support to have in your NDIS plan if you have a similar goal and want to get more involved with social and community activities.
Community Participation is all about engaging in everyday social activities that the participant enjoys doing. It is not one-size-fits-all support where the participant has to sign up or pre-decided activities. To different participants, community participation might mean different things. For some people, it is about paying regular visits to friends and family or going out for recreational activities like movies and museum visits. While others may see community participation as an opportunity to learn a new skill or play their favourite sports.
NDIS Community Participation is funded in the Core Supports budget of the participant and covers the cost of the assistance required for the participant to access these activities. The participant has to pay for the general cost of the activity such as membership or entrance fee out of their pockets.
Community Participation activities that align with the goals and personal interests of the participant can help them build a better future for themselves. It will help them gain confidence in themselves and learn important life skills. Registered NDIS service providers like Aastha can provide trained support workers who will ensure the safety and comfort of the participants at all times during the activities.
