How EnableU Supports People With Intellectual Disabilities

People with intellectual disabilities often require support that is structured, consistent, and adapted to their individual communication style, learning pace, and emotional needs. At EnableU, we provide safe, respectful, and goal-based support for NDIS participants with intellectual disabilities living across North Melbourne suburbs including Reservoir, Coburg, Bundoora, and beyond.

Understanding Intellectual Disabilities

Intellectual disability can affect a person’s ability to process information, communicate effectively, manage routines, or live independently. That’s why EnableU focuses on structured, easy-to-understand, and person-first support strategies to ensure each individual is met where they are—without pressure or judgment.

Daily Support That Encourages Independence

We assist with:

• Personal care routines like bathing, grooming, and dressing
• Daily living tasks such as shopping, cooking, and cleaning
• Travel training and public transport assistance
• Community participation including attending events and social groups
• Building functional life skills through supported activities

Support Workers Trained in Positive Behaviour Support

Our team includes NDIS-trained support workers with experience in behaviour support strategies, communication aids (like visual schedules or AAC devices), and sensory-friendly techniques to ensure comfort and trust.

Customised Care Plans and Family Involvement

EnableU develops individualised support plans that are regularly reviewed with input from participants, families, and allied health professionals such as speech pathologists or psychologists. We also ensure regular communication and progress updates with families or guardians where applicable.

NDIS-Funded, Flexible and Local

Our services are fully aligned with your NDIS goals and can include Core Supports, Capacity Building supports, and Therapeutic interventions. Whether you need daily help or just a few hours a week, we work with you to provide the right level of care at the right time.
