At Support Point, our disability support coordinators are dedicated to making life easier, more connected, and more fulfilling for people with disabilities. We help you navigate services, build personalized support plans, and access the resources you need, all while honouring your goals, choices, and strengths.

 

What a Disability Support Coordinator Does

 

A disability support coordinator serves as your guide and advocate. We work with you one-on-one to understand your needs, preferences, and aspirations – whether you are seeking daily support, community involvement, employment options, or health-related services. From planning to implementation, our coordinators help you shape support that truly fits your life.

 

Key roles include:

 

·         Assessment and Planning: Learning about your goals and needs to create a tailored support plan.

·         Information and Referrals: Connecting you with services, providers, and community resources.

·         Coordination: Organizing supports across areas such as health, therapy, education, and social participation.

·         Advocacy: Helping you communicate your needs and rights to service providers when needed.

 

Personalized Support That Respects You

 

Every person’s journey is unique. Support Point’s coordinators take the time to listen – not just to your needs but also to your ambitions. Whether you want assistance with independent living, access to social activities, or help managing appointments and paperwork, your coordinator works with you to build a plan that reflects your priorities.
