TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORT OF VALUES
Social Role Valorisation: The enablement, establishment, enhancement, maintenance, and/or defence of valued social roles for people – by using, as much as possible, culturally valued means (Wolfensberger, 1983).
Community presence and participation, in ways that are age appropriate and make for valued members of society.
Autonomy and self-determination, through the exercise of increasingly informed choice.
Continuous involvement in the ongoing process of becoming.
Increasing independence and productivity to the point of economic self sufficiency.
The opportunity to develop a full range of social relationships and friendships.
SUPPORT INTERVENTION APPROACH
All services are based on the recognition that people with a disability are individuals with rights, needs, and aspirations, who are members of families and of the wider community. Support Services are aimed at assisting people to live as valued members of the community and are based on an Individual Support Plan Model. Lifestyle Support Workers employed provide assistance to people receiving Lifestyle and Mobile Support Services in the client's home and around their local communities. Lifestyle Support Workers work in small teams and on a one to one basis and report through the Client Services and Lifestyle Support Facilitators.
