Independence Building

Independence-building support

Build confidence through practical, real-world experiences.

See how support works

Independence can grow through everyday choices, repeated practice and the confidence that comes from doing more for yourself. 1Support creates practical opportunities to build skills in real settings and at a pace that makes sense to you.

How we approach it

We encourage choice, recognise progress and adapt support as confidence and goals develop.

What this can support

  • Using public transport
  • Planning an outing
  • Navigating local places
  • Making everyday choices
  • Building routines
  • Practising communication and community skills
