ABOUT US
At Small Steps, we are professionals in delivering people-centred services to individuals living with disability in Canberra and surrounds. We work alongside NDIS participants who are experiencing disability, their family, carers, and support networks to assist in navigating their NDIS plan. We understand that each NDIS participant and plan is unique, so we go the extra mile to ensure a positive, personalised, client-centred experience.
SUPPORT COORDINATION
Our Support Coordination team will help you connect with local providers and services that are suitable to your personal needs. We are here to help you find community and mainstream supports and grow a better understanding of the services that are available to you through your NDIS plan. Our services will empower you to maximise opportunities and increase the choice and control within your own life. We firmly believe that you are the expert of your life, and our role is to support you to experience a fulfilling life in the way you choose to live.
ALLIED HEALTH SERVICES
Our coordination team will connect you with the relevant allied health professionals who best meet your needs and describe them in-depth to the NDIS. These professionals are registered and trained to deliver assessments, administer safe health practices, and advise on strategies and assistive technologies.
Our team includes occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurses, and psychosocial recovery coaches and more. Our allied health professionals are passionate about providing our participants with a holistic approach to their support needs and ensuring that their goals are well established and supported.
We understand how the NDIS works and what supports are available. Together we can develop a plan to overcome your disability-related obstacles.
SUPPORT FOR DAILY LIFE
The Small Steps Core - daily life assistance is personalised support that assists you in living as independently as possible in the way that you choose. Whether at home or in the community, we ensure that your daily needs are met seven days a week. Whether your goal is to safely access the community, cook your family a meal or improve your health and wellbeing, the Small Steps team will work with you to achieve your dreams. Together we can take small steps in the right direction.
CAPACITY BUILDING
Our Big brother program is based on skill and capacity building. We help to transition young people from 16yrs old to prepare their life skills to become independent adults.
Skill building and training includes areas such as cooking, shopping and money handling skills. We start the conversation for life after school, does it include Study? Work? Or something else?
We help you develop the skills and experience to match your dream. Let us put a plan in place to get you there. This may include non-verbal presentation, interview preparation, and resume assistance. We start building a foundation of work-life balance, time management and following through on commitments and responsibilities.
Our support workers and mentors come from a health, social support, or education background. We will match you with an age-appropriate person who has the skills you are aiming to develop.
