This new approach aims to give people with disabilities more control over which support they choose in order to lead the lives they want. Right now, people with disabilities are often assessed and presented with a set package of personal and home support for a set number of hours – take it or leave it. The Local Area Coordinator programme gives more flexibility to disabled people and their families, helping them lead the lives they want.
