Life Skills Support
Developing practical independence and daily living skills in a supportive, person-centred way.
What Is Life Skills Support?
Life skills support focuses on non-intimate daily routines and practical independence. We help disabled people develop skills for everyday life, including personal organisation, household management, food preparation, communication, emotional regulation, safety awareness and community participation. We work at each person's own pace, respecting their goals and focusing on skills that matter to them.
Support is individualised and flexible. We focus on building confidence and enabling real independence where possible. TishAbility does not provide personal care, intimate care, washing, dressing, toileting, bathing or regulated care.
