A helping hand to increase your skills and independence through development of daily living and life skills
Life skills are those skills we learn that enable us to complete daily tasks, as well as overcome any unforeseen challenges or obstacles. Our patient Support Workers provide the mentoring, motivation, and encouragement to assist you to reach your goals.
Whether there is just one specific skill you wish to learn, or you require assistance more broadly to complete daily tasks, our team will work with you to develop a plan that addresses your needs and works towards your independence goals.
Pearl Disability Services supports participants with our individually tailored services to live high quality, independent lives. Our team can assist you to grow or gain skills such as:
Time management
Selfcare and personal hygiene
(e.g. showering, toileting and dressing)
Domestic duties
(e.g. we can help you build your own capacity to clean your home, wash clothes, or undertake minor maintenance, or we can help you to complete household tasks – see below)
Nutrition
(e.g. grocery shopping, planning or preparing healthy meals)
Financial management
