Assistive Prod-Household Task services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) aim to provide individuals with disabilities or limitations with the necessary equipment and aids to assist them in performing various household tasks independently and safely. These services recognize the importance of maintaining autonomy and dignity in daily living activities, enhancing quality of life and promoting independence.
NDIS-funded Assistive Prod-Household Task services may include:
– Provision of assistive devices and equipment: This may involve supplying aids such as modified kitchen utensils, adaptive cleaning tools, ergonomic furniture, or mobility aids tailored to the individual’s specific needs and preferences.
– Home modifications: Adaptations to the home environment to improve accessibility and usability, such as installing grab rails, ramps, or stairlifts, to facilitate safe and independent movement around the house.
– Training and support: Assistance with learning how to use assistive devices effectively, as well as guidance on strategies for managing household tasks efficiently and safely.
