Support and Belonging Programs for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities

Personal Advocacy Service, a registered NDIS Service Provider, offers programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities under ‘Social and Community Participation.’

Our SPRED – Special Religious Development – program provides a supportive environment with one-on-one friendships, where participants connect with others and find belonging in welcoming, small faith communities.

SPRED Program

Our SPRED Program matches a person with intellectual disability (Friends) with an advocate who helps them meet others and join social activities in small faith communities at our Morley centre or a nearby parish.

Social Programs

Every Tuesday morning, we invite our participants for arts and crafts social activities at our Morley premise. We also offer dance classes at our Morley centre on Thursdays, a fun way for participants to exercise and connect.

Parish Community

In parishes across the Archdiocese of Perth, we build community groups that invite our participants to come together for inclusive liturgy events like Mass, Thanksgiving, and more throughout the year

Other support services

We’re a part of the Archdiocese of Perth’s support network. Check out other Archdiocesan agencies for related support services for adults with intellectual disabilities. We also encourage you to view additional resources for carers like counselling.
