A full-day in-person workshop exploring individualised and innovative ways that people with a disability have used to create their own homes while getting the support they need.
What this workshop is about
Home is a vital part of our lives. It provides us with security, privacy, comfort, and control. It also reflects our identity and adulthood, giving us a deep sense of who we are and how we connect and belong in our neighbourhood.
Yet for many people, particularly those with intellectual disability and Autism, home is designed by others. Individuals are left with little control over the decisions that most people take for granted. Some families wonder if it’s even possible for their family members to live in their own homes.
In this practical and interactive workshop, we will explore individualised and innovative ways that people with disability have used to create their own homes while getting the support they need.
What we will discuss in this workshop
What it really means to have your own home
The essential elements that make a person’s home their own
How to find the inspiration and certainty that a person with disability can have their own home
Creating and holding a personalised vision for home
First steps to consider when creating a home of your own that’s unique to you
How to test ideas to live in your own home and how to implement the ones that work
A range of home options and creative supports
Working collaboratively to address common barriers, challenges and fears
The concept of Home as a part of having a good life within a community and neighbourhood
Setting up for long-term safety and success
Stories about people living in their own homes with a range of support.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop will be relevant to people with developmental disabilities, their families and supporters as they think through how they might move into and thrive in a home they can call their own.
