Weekday Programs
Minimbah provides a day service for
adults. The clients participate in a
wide range of community and
centre-based activities.
Saturday Care
Saturday Care is a respite and
recreational program for school
aged young people. The program
operates on alternate Saturdays
and every Saturday during the mid
year school holidays.
Person Centred
Planning
Person Centeredness is a life
planning model to enable people
with disabilities to increase their
personal self-determination and
improve their independence.
Minimbah uses this model to
develop programs for learning and
leisure activities:
•
through awareness of what is
important to and for our
clients
•
through consultation with
clients and their families and
carers.
We use the ‘Progress for Providers’
tool distributed by the NDS to
identify a range of strengths and
areas for improvement. We are
developing action plans to increase
person centredness through staff
training, coaching, assistive
technology audits, and individual
program planning.
