Tulgeen Disability Services is an ADHC funded Community Participation service provider. Tulgeen’s purpose built Community Participation facility, including a Special Needs Activity Room and Personal Care area, was built in 2005.
The Community Participation Program assists people with moderate to very high support needs to achieve personal goals, increase independence and participate as valued and active members of the community. Clients participate in Art Exhibitions and local Social Club activities, for example indoor and outdoor games, Special Olympics; activities in the community like visits to the library, art gallery, swimming pool; joining a church group, or becoming a representative of people with disability on the local council’s Access and Equity Committee. Through this social interaction clients are able to develop relationships and friendships within the community.
Activities include: independent living skills; sport and exercise; Art in the Garage; shopping and cooking; music; literacy and numeracy; computer skills; work experience; community access and integration; and textiles and craft. Activities are conducted in small groups of 3 – 5 clients, with either 1:1 or 1:2 staff/client ratios for clients with high support needs.
