Disability services for young adults

This can be an exciting time for young adults, however it can also be challenging to fill the days with meaning. For some people, this may be a time for further study or finding employment, whereas others may still be addressing complex health issues and finding it difficult to find hobbies and interests.

It is at this stage of life that Ability WA’s philosophy of tailoring our services around you and your goals becomes most important. No matter which of our disability services for young adults you need — ongoing therapy, employment services, equipment solutions, short or long-term accommodation, or activity programs — we can work together to achieve the best outcomes.
