Empowering Independence: How 4lifeskills Supports Personal Growth and Achievement
At 4lifeskills, we are deeply committed to supporting young people and adults living with disabilities to achieve their goals and live their best lives. Our approach is centered around four key domains: Work, Home, Health, and Fun. By focusing on these areas, we provide comprehensive and tailored support that helps participants develop essential skills, gain independence, and enjoy a fulfilling life. 4lifeskills provides contemporary supports founded on human rights to people living with permanent disability in Perth, WA.
The Power of Collaboration: Lewis’s Journey
One of the most inspiring examples of our work is the progress made by Lewis, a young man who has been working with us over the past few months. Lewis’s journey to greater independence has been a collaborative effort between his speech therapist, Leisha from Ability Action Australia, and his dedicated 4lifeskills support worker, Anthony.
When Lewis first joined us, he struggled with making independent choices and expressing his preferences. He often went along with what others wanted, unable to assert his own desires or say “No” to activities he didn’t enjoy. However, with the dedicated support of Leisha and Anthony, Lewis has made significant strides.
Initially, Lewis could only express himself with single words. Through consistent speech therapy and ongoing support from Anthony, he has progressed to forming whole sentences in just a few weeks. This remarkable improvement has empowered Lewis to communicate more effectively with his friends, support workers, and others in his life.
A particularly notable achievement is Lewis’s ability to identify boy/girl on his iPad and successfully complete speech therapy-related puzzles and tasks. This progress marks a significant step towards his independence. Lewis is starting to understand that he has choices and can communicate his preferences throughout the day—something he couldn’t do before joining 4lifeskills.
Celebrating Lewis’s Success
Lewis’s journey is a testament to the power of personalized support and the impact it can have on an individual’s life. With his newfound ability to express himself and make choices, Lewis now has a strong voice in deciding what he wants to do each day. This newfound independence has given him confidence and a sense of control over his life.
