Your goals set the direction
Community participation can involve social activities, shopping, appointments, recreation or exploring a new interest. Start with what you want to do and the assistance that makes it possible.
Plan the whole outing
Consider getting ready, travel, access at the destination and returning home. Discuss mobility, personal care, communication and any health-related needs across the whole activity.
Confidence at your pace
Support should reflect the person’s preferences and energy, including sensory needs or anxiety about unfamiliar settings. Agree how choices and changes will be communicated during an outing.
Clear travel arrangements
Confirm the worker’s role, accessible transport, any support time during travel and related costs before agreeing to a schedule. Transport availability is not assumed.
