Importance of Social and Community Participation for People with Disabilities Aastha Community Services The support and services funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) focus on the overall well-being of people with disabilities. That includes facilitating social and community activities that help people with disabilities to build their skills and make them feel included in their communities. Participating in social and community activities involves getting to know individuals who share your interests. It also entails engaging in activities you find enjoyable but at the same time doing those activities alongside others. Assistance with Social and Community Participation is the support funded by the NDIS that helps the participants to achieve their community participation goals. It is funded under the Core Supports budget in your NDIS plan.
