Unisson Disability's Philosophy on Active Support
What is Active Support?
Active Support is the way we support people with disability to participate meaningfully in everyday life, rather than doing things for them.
It focuses on enabling every person we support to be engaged, included, and exercising choice and control throughout their day.
Active Support happens during everyday moments such as:
- Preparing meals together
- Household tasks and routines
- Community participation
- Social activities and relationships
- Personal care routines
- Decision making throughout the day
Our goal is simple: every person has opportunities to be involved in meaningful activity and relationships throughout the day.
The Principles of Active Support
Active Support is guided by four key principles:
- Every Moment Has Potential: Every interaction is an opportunity for participation.
- Maximising Choice and Control: People are supported to make decisions in their daily lives.
- Little and Often Support: Tasks are broken into small achievable steps so people can participate successfully.
- Tailored Support: Support is adapted to each person’s abilities, preferences and goals.
