What Are Disability Support Services?

Disability support services are designed to assist people with disabilities to live safely, independently and with greater confidence in their everyday lives. These services focus on practical support, personal goals and meaningful participation in the community.

At Angels on Wheels, disability support services are delivered with respect, transparency and a strong focus on individual needs.

What Do Disability Support Services Mean?

Disability support services refer to a range of supports that help individuals manage daily activities, build skills and stay connected to their community. The type and level of support provided depends on each person’s abilities, preferences and goals.

Support may be provided in the home, within the community or across multiple settings, depending on what works best for the individual.

Types of Disability Support Services

Disability support services can include a wide range of practical and personal supports, such as:

  • In-home support with daily living tasks
  • Community participation and social activities
  • Transport assistance for appointments and outings
  • Support with routines, organisation and independence
  • Skill development for everyday living

Services are most effective when they are flexible and tailored to the individual.

Why Disability Support Services Are Important

Disability support services play an important role in promoting independence, wellbeing and quality of life. With the right support in place, individuals can build confidence, maintain routines and participate more fully in everyday activities.

Support services also help reduce isolation by encouraging social connection and community involvement.

Personalised and Individualised Support

No two people have the same needs. Effective disability support services are personalised and shaped around the individual. This includes respecting personal choices, cultural background, communication preferences and long-term goals.

At Angels on Wheels, we take the time to understand what matters most to each person before providing support.
