1️⃣ Community Inclusion
Community inclusion supports active participation in the local community by providing necessary assistance. This may involve acquiring new skills, attending social events, and engaging in sports or recreational activities. The goal is to empower individuals, promoting their integration, well-being, and sense of belonging.
2️⃣ Home Support
Certain individuals may need home support, involving assistance with their interests like art, music, gardening, cleaning, or other enjoyable activities.
3️⃣ Personal Care
If personal care is required, it typically intertwines with other positions. Duties can include bathing, feeding, support going to the washroom and other personal care needs.
4️⃣ Shared Living or Live-In Support
This is when a person with a disability requires ongoing live-in support and will hire someone to live with them. The person hired may live in the individual’s home, or the individual may live in the support staff’s home.
5️⃣ Respite
Respite support is typically flexible and can be for a few hours or overnight. Respite is an opportunity for the full-time caregiver to recharge. Respite can take place in the support staff’s home, the individual’s home, or in the community.
6️⃣ Behavioural Support
Behavioural support addresses behaviours by working with the person and those around them to better understand why certain behaviours occur and to provide support for the person to learn positive behaviours. Common positions are a behavioural consultant or interventionist.
