Coordination of Supports
Our coordination of supports service aims to strengthen each NDIS participant’s ability to link and connect with all areas of both NDIS and mainstream support. This service is designed to assist you to build the skills you need to understand, implement and use your NDIS participant plan to its full capacity, which in turn helps you to achieve your goals.
Providing you with a support coordinator, we work closely with you to:
-
Connect you with support services and therapy service providers
-
Explain how to read your NDIS plan and use your funding
-
Help you liaise with service providers and set up supports
-
Attend your NDIS review to ensure you continue to receive the support you need
-
Strengthen your capacity to independently manage your support circle and NDIS funding.
Social Group Activities
Dynamic Ability Support runs three social groups for NDIS participants in the Newcastle region. Each group provides a welcoming platform for people with disabilities to make friends, socialise and engage in the community.
Dynamic Wellness
Become more active and try new experiences in a social/community setting. With group sizes ranging from 5 to 10 people, we engage in a range of activities, including bushwalking, soccer, swimming, touch football, frisbee and much more.
Every second week, the Dynamic group engages in a cooking class based in the Elermorevale Community Centre alongside our Expressibility art class.
9am-12pm Saturday each week
Expressability
This is an arts-based group promoting emotional and mental growth and features a strong element of sensory exploration. Expressability provides a space for participants to express themselves through art, working either independently or in a team.
9am-12pm Saturday fortnightly
Checkpoint
Checkpoint is a program designed to reduce isolation and screen time while providing a social platform for gamers to connect and engage within the community. The Checkpoint Calendar is filled with all gaming related activities but in a much healthier and social environment.
1pm-4pm Saturday each week
