If it leads to more opportunities to do other things and interact with other people, then engagement is meaningful. Instead of doing things for people or to people, we work with them, so they can take part in everyday activities, regardless of their level of disability. This technique helps to give the people we support more control, improve confidence and increase independence. Every moment has potential: Utilising the activities that need to be done such as housework, shopping, work or gardening and those that are available to do such as visiting friends or relatives, playing sport or adult education to support people to be engaged throughout the day.
Little and often: Breaking activities and relationships down into a series of steps and identifying those parts the person can do for themselves, those they can do with help and those they need done for them. This enables people to be involved in ways that work for them, perhaps in small parts or over some time. Maximising choice and control: Looking for opportunities for the person to express their preferences when it comes to relationships and activities.
Just as crucially, such expression must be listened to and acted upon in order to give the person as much control as possible. A person centred process involves listening, thinking together, coaching, sharing ideas, and seeking feedback. This process is ongoing to make sure each person is supported towards their personal goals, even as they evolve and change. The ultimate aim is to understand what each individual person wants and needs to live their own, personally defined, good life. We make sure we have a person centred approach across all our services at Aruma.
When we are working with someone, we always keep their strengths and interests, their communication preference, and who people they would like to involve, top of mind. Person Centred Active Support is a way of providing someone with a disability just the right amount of support.
Not too much and not too little.
