QUESTION 1
Canberra's disability home care work effectively to support needy people so that they can
get quality of life. There are many programs relating to disability support services such as NDIS
services the agency named as national disability insurance agency. The disability support
workers help disabled people in travelling to their home and provides supports with their daily
routine activities such as feeding, self care, giving medications, supervising them. They develop
support plan to make disabled people life easy. The client target group is disabled people with
high needs- level 3 autism which is a severe challenges in extremely inflexible behaviour and
social communication, they face problem while speaking as this type of person use only a few
words of intelligible speech. Also the social interaction is very less in these types of clients
(Coderre and et.al., 2019).

mental health as well as make them more depressed. Due to this they are often socially isolated
with fewer opportunities as they are not much allowed to take participation in community life.

them, low education accomplishments and less economic engagement. They are disabled not
only by their physical bodies but also by society as well (Khalil and et.al., 2018).
QUESTION 3
By taking feedback from person with disabilities the service is able to address the target
group needs. In addition, the support service is not using terms like disabled person, a person
with disability, they are emphasizing the individual. The service providers are not treating people
badly as they need substantial support great assistance while communicating with others, they
are treating them with respect and kindness to know about their needs and requirements such as
social interaction and communication.

commitment and poor communication skills. Talking about poor communication skills, if
supporters themselves does not able to talk properly or communicate effectively with others then

it can affect service delivery. Some supporters do not able to understand the expectations of
needy people. The another barriers are language and cultural barriers which must be taken into
consideration while understanding about level 3 autism (Cai and et.al., 2018).
