Community Participation & Support
People who live in the community may offer an adult with a developmental disability the support they need to become more involved and integrated into the public community. These supports can include things such as:
- Friendship and social together
- Playing and participating in sports activities together
- Getting involved with a house of worship or participating in spiritual activities
- Trying a hobby or community activity such as gardening
- Meet with other adults who have similar needs and interests as part of a group program in the community
- Help developing self-help skills with things like: learning to brush teeth, get dressed, ride the bus and go shopping in order to become more independent
- Continuing to learn after high school, taking a course, volunteering, using public libraries or participating in activities at a community centre
- Help with Volunteer activities or to prepare for a job i.e. practising work-related tasks or skills to succeed at work or as a volunteer
