Social Context
The need for creating supportive environments and communities have never been greater. More than one in five Australians reported a disability in a 2003 preliminary ABS survey. Support services are the key to ensuring the well-being and livelihood of many of our families.
Through access to services that provide education, respite, skill development and basic social support the life options and choices for many people with a disability are enhanced and the quality of life for their families is substantially improved.
IOE works with a vision of enabling children and young people with disabilities to participate in their communities in a meaningful way so that they may achieve dignity and value in society and be offered choice and independence throughout their lives.
