Understand how active support translates values into person-centred practical action with an individual.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- About the change in attitude that doing things for the person takes away from the person's skills and motivation
- The importance of a support worker allowing the person to do things for themselves, such as washing, dressing and preparing a meal for themselves
- Promoting as much self reliance on the person, with the ultimate goal of the individual requiring minimal support
