Lifestyle Planning

SCDS can support you to create your Lifestyle Plan

Once you know what a person's allocation of funding is, Lifestyle Planning is a planning event that brings all the people who are important to a person together, to listen to what is important to them and discuss a range of life and support options.

Lifestyle Planning culminates in a set of outcomes that the person wants to fulfil in the coming year and a template for a ‘perfect week’ on which to base the planning of the person’s support.

SCDS Can build your Lifestyle Plan using Person Centred Thinking tools and support you to create your ‘perfect weekly routine’ and look at areas where you are independent or require some support.

SCDS staff have undertaken professional training in Lifestyle Planning, we are open minded and creative because it’s all about you, we are all different, we all enjoy different experiences and activities.

SCDS puts consultation first, to look at things like:

What’s important to you…important for you
What is currently Working…not working
What does your Good day look like / Bad Day
How do you communicate, what message are you trying to send with your individual signs and gestures?

What are the triggers or causes for Challenging behaviours, is it a behaviour or are you frustrated because people don’t listen or understand you?

We look forward to working with you and listening to you to develop your Lifestyle Plan, reviewing and changing your goals and support plans as your needs change and develop.
