Just as every person is unique, so are the circumstances they face. This is especially relevant for individuals living with learning disabilities. That is why it is important to access disability service providers that understand your needs. At Fair Go Access, we recognise this and offer person-centred learning disability services to ensure adequate care and help for people with disabilities.

Person-Centred Planning is Key

Person-centred planning is an integral concern when sourcing disability services able to properly support additional needs children and adults with learning disabilities. Despite this, there is often a gap between official discourse and actual delivery. That is why treating each person as an individual and planning accordingly is perhaps the most important aspect of satisfactorily assisting individuals with a learning disability.

Making Appropriate Choices

Ensuring choice and control over one’s treatment affords a better quality of life than a blanket approach for all. That’s why we encourage those with learning disabilities to get involved in deciding what treatment or therapies are best for them. 

Involving the Whole Family

Part of planning person-centred learning disability delivery is considering other members of the family. Seeing other family members as part of the overall approach will help maintain relationships with both family and friends. Fair Go Access has been providing assistance for people with disabilities for decades and consider family involvement a must when seeking help through disability services.

A Dynamic Approach to Dealing with Learning Disabilities

Person-centred care is by its very nature, a dynamic and ever-changing approach. It considers immediate needs while also looking forward to planning for the future. It considers the needs, wants, concerns and opinions of both the individual and their support network of family and friends. The aim is to ensure care is tailored rather than a blanket approach. It is for this reason that we treat everyone as an individual. 

Integration with their Local Community

Fair Go Access provides help for people with disabilities. We know that effective person-centred learning disability services go beyond care-specific concerns. If the goal is the realisation of life goals and a fulfilling life of happiness, learning disability services must help connect adults and children with special needs to their local community. This ensures a move towards inclusion and the facilitation of their life goals.
