Personalised Learning Disability Support in Maidstone That Builds Independence

Support Built Around the Individual

A learning disability can affect people in different ways, so effective support should never follow a one-size-fits-all model. We take time to understand what matters to each individual before developing support around their daily life, existing abilities and personal aspirations.

Depending on the person's needs, support may focus on:

• Developing everyday life skills
• Building confidence and independence
• Making choices and expressing preferences
• Taking part in meaningful daily activities
• Staying connected with the local community
• Developing routines that support wellbeing
• Working towards individual goals

Support can adapt as circumstances change, helping individuals maintain as much control over their lives as possible.

Encouraging Meaningful Participation Through Active Support

Active Support is an important part of the Anor Plus approach. Rather than completing everyday tasks for someone automatically, the focus is on helping the individual participate in ways that are meaningful and achievable for them.

This could mean supporting someone to take part in preparing food, making everyday choices, completing household activities or becoming more involved within their community. The level of support is adapted to the individual, helping them build confidence and develop skills over time.

Our aim is to provide the right amount of assistance while continuing to encourage participation, choice and independence wherever possible.

Person-Centred Support at Home & in the Community

Good disability support extends beyond completing practical tasks. It should help people live fulfilling lives that reflect their own preferences and goals.

Anor Plus provides flexible disability support services in Maidstone and across Kent that can help individuals remain active within their homes and communities. Every support plan is centred around the person rather than their diagnosis, with dignity, choice and inclusion considered throughout.

We also work collaboratively with families and professionals where appropriate, helping create consistent support around the individual while keeping their own wishes and needs at the centre of decision-making.

Supporting Families & Personalised Care Arrangements

Families often play an important role in an individual's support network. We work closely with relatives and other professionals to understand existing routines, concerns and goals before recommending an appropriate approach.

Anor Plus can also provide guidance around Direct Payments and personalised funding arrangements. This may include support with areas such as personal budgets, personal assistant recruitment, payroll, training and ongoing administration, helping families navigate arrangements while maintaining choice and control.

Our approach remains focused on creating support that works for the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit around a standard service.
