About Us
The Developing Ability Partnership believes in facilitating the collection and sharing of best practice in improving the quality of life for people with developmental challenges. To this end, our focus is on helping you - whether you are parents, guardians, family members, friends or professionals - to achieve these goals:
- To learn, understand and become an effective supporter and advocate for the individual you support
- To allow you improve each person's quality of life
- To allow you deliver supports in partnership with other services, in order to enhance the quality of life experienced by the individual
- To allow you develop and design supports tailored to meet the individual's needs and abilities
- To allow you use analysis to design deliver and refine interventions to support individuals who use challenging behaviour to get their needs met
- To develop skill acquisition programs for individuals to enhance all life experiences
Since the availability of expert practitioners falls far short of demand, and many families experience
difficulties in attending traditional courses, our hope is that you will find this expanding range of online services and community of benefit to you.
In this way, the experience and expertise of the Developing
Ability Partnership team, its affiliates and partners will be available to any member on this website. We need your support to make this
innovative and cost effective support service work, primarily in giving us feedback on what works best for you...
Thank you.
