Squad Services
How we can support you
At Disability Support Squad we offer a range of individualised support solutions for NDIS participants. Read on to find out more.
Support Coordination
Support Coordination is a funded support in NDIS plans, that is designed to help you understand your plan and how you can use the supports in it. We understand that the NDIS and plans can be tricky to navigate, having an NDIS Support Coordinator is like having a personal NDIS expert to guide you along your journey. Our support coordinators have expert knowledge of the NDIS and understand what can be spent within each budget and how you can creatively use the funds from each budget to get the most out of your plan. Support Coordinators will also assist you to build capacity and independence along the way whilst helping you to achieve your goals in line with your NDIS plan.
At Disability Support Squad, we understand that everyone is different with different needs; that is why we offer holistic and individualised Support Coordination services that empower our participants. Creating tailored support plans, we consider every individuals circumstances and needs, providing a safe and friendly space for participants to share. We pride ourselves on promoting and encouraging choice and control, by supporting participants to make lifestyle decisions independently!
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching
At Disability Support Squad we support you through your recovery journey, drawing on lived experience and practical mental health training. Psychosocial recovery coaches are specialist mental health support people that some NDIS plans give participants access to if they are dealing with mental health conditions.
The recovery coaches role is to assist people with disabilities arising from mental health conditions to live a full and contributing life. We work with you to ensure you get the support you need, to build on your strengths to achieve the life you deserve to live. This will be different for everyone, your plan might include getting out in the community more, improving coordination of your support team, moving through life's challenges or receiving respite.
We celebrate all achievements, no matter how big or small - when you succeed, we will be there to cheer you on!
