Social and Community Participation

At WEK Services, we help individuals with autism build essential skills for active community participation. We support them in finding and advancing in jobs, connecting with like-minded individuals, and engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfilment.

We facilitate access to the local community by helping participants meet new people, establish friendships, and build lasting relationships. Our team provides personalised support to overcome communication and social interaction challenges.

We assist participants in finding, keeping, and advancing in jobs by improving their skills and qualifications. This includes guidance in selecting suitable courses and programs, help with enrollment, support for fee exemption applications, and assistance in obtaining ergonomic equipment and assistive technology.

Our team helps with daily living activities such as personal care, household tasks, and medication management. We ensure participants have the support they need to live independently at home and in the community.

We provide safe and reliable private transport services to essential destinations such as school, work, educational programs, recreational events, shopping, and appointments. Additionally, we offer assisted travel support to help participants navigate public transport independently.

We offer comprehensive training and support in life skills development, including public transport training and support. Our goal is to equip individuals with the skills needed for community, social, and recreational participation.

Community involvement provides opportunities for personal growth, social interaction, and a sense of belonging. It helps individuals with autism build supportive relationships and lead fulfilling lives.

We take the time to understand each participant's preferences, including how they spend their time, travel distance, and sense of community belonging. We then connect them with suitable support workers who can deliver a tailored experience, ensuring a perfect fit based on age, personality, interests, and overall situation.

Our personalised approach, focus on inclusivity, and commitment to breaking down barriers set us apart. We prioritise creating welcoming and accessible environments, allowing participants to try different support workers until they find the match that meets their needs.

We provide comprehensive support during life stages and transitions, such as moving to independent living arrangements or transitioning between educational settings. Our goal is to ensure individuals feel supported and empowered throughout these changes.
