Because We Can
Life Skills and Development are covered under NDIS Plans when a person’s inability to perform them is related to their disability. The NDIS covers Core Support, Capacity Building, and Capital Funding which are different categories of support required by people living with disabilities.
Depending on how your disability affects your ability to live independently, the funding may be classified under Core Supports or Capacity Building.
The NDIS provides funding for anything reasonable and necessary in support of independent living as a person living with a disability. This may include everything from morning routines to how to make friends. If you are unsure if your needs are covered under the NDIS’ Life Skills and Development funding, we’ll be happy to walk you through every step and find out exactly what’s included in your personalised NDIS Plan.
If you or your loved one need help to live more independently through Life Skills and Development services, get in touch with us online, by phone, or in person! We at BOCS can meet with you, help assess your needs and what’s covered and available to you under the NDIS, and then partner you with the right people. Together, we’ll create a plan that works for you to make sure you’re meeting the challenges you face every day head-on.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds reasonable and necessary support for people living with disabilities and can provide you with funding to avail of Maple’s Life Skills and Development services if this is something that will help you to live a happier, healthier life. Depending on your disability and level of impairment and need, Life Skills and Development can be covered by NDIS.

Development of daily living and life skills focuses on training and development activities undertaken by the participant or their carer to increase their ability to live as autonomously as possible, including supports that will enhance the ability of the participant to travel, use public transport independently, practice and maintain personal hygiene regularly and many more. Life Skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable humans to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of life.
BOCS will engage with you on Daily Living and Life Skills. We understand your goals and work with you and your family or carers to put in place support to develop everyday skills with a particular focus on building confidence and independence. If you have a unique skill that you want to learn, BOCS will work with you to reach your goal. We also improve your skills for communication and independent living. We provide services to assist you and your families or carers to navigate all the problems faced in your daily life, as well as to implement strategies that will increase your potential to manage these problems.
We provide training either individually or through group activities and can include skills in daily life activities, communication and social skills, problem-solving, and managing the funding of supports. To assist participants to manage their daily life challenges, we offer a wide range of training and development activities, focused on building their capacity to manage everyday life, through the development of their knowledge, skills, and networks of support. We can provide training and development of life skills, including Personal hygiene, toileting, personal care, preparing a healthy meal, maintaining cleanliness in-home, laundering of clothes, communicating with service providers and support networks, transport, and travel, accessing public transport, and many more according to your needs.
