Development Life Skills
What is the Development Life Skills service?
Development Life Skills is a key support service offered under the NDIS that focuses on building the independence and capability of individuals with disabilities. The aim is to help participants gain essential skills needed to manage daily tasks and participate more fully in their communities. These services are tailored to individual goals and may include areas such as personal hygiene, cooking, budgeting, time management, communication, using public transport, and social interaction.
