✨ Building skills, confidence, and connection through everyday activities ✨

Bill recently enjoyed a game of Scrabble with his support worker, sharing plenty of laughs while putting his vocabulary and problem solving skills to the test.

At I Help Disability Services, we believe that meaningful activities can support much more than just having fun. Games like Scrabble provide valuable opportunities for capacity building by encouraging communication, concentration, memory, decision making, and problem solving skills. These everyday experiences can help participants maintain and develop important life skills that support greater independence.

Just as importantly, spending quality time with a support worker promotes companionship and social connection. Building positive relationships and engaging in enjoyable activities can help participants feel connected, supported, and confident in their daily lives.

We take a participant led approach to every activity, ensuring experiences align with each person's interests, preferences, abilities, and NDIS goals. Whether it's a board game, community outing, or favourite hobby, our focus is on creating meaningful opportunities for growth, independence, and wellbeing.

Can an AI robot remind people to take medication?

AI robot’s role in supporting Aged Care and NDIS participants

In this Episode 4 highlight of Outreach, Matilda the AI robot shares an important message about the role of AI in aged care and disability support.

“While AI can offer valuable support, it’s a tool to augment human care and interaction, not replace it.”

From companionship and reminders to meaningful engagement, Matilda is designed to enhance quality of life while recognising that the empathy, warmth, and personal connection of human caregivers and loved ones can never be replaced.

Meet Matilda: The AI robot for seniors and NDIS participants

In this Episode 4 highlight of Outreach, Rajiv Khosla, the creator of Matilda shares the moment he realised that his AI robot was bringing something special to the community.

What started as an interest in humanising technology became a breakthrough when Matilda began playing music and singing with older Australians in Northern Queensland, bringing smiles, engagement, and connection to people who had never used technology before.

From bingo and quizzes to songs and reminders, Matilda showed that technology doesn’t have to feel cold or complicated, it can bring joy, interaction, and companionship.

🎧 Watch the clip and consider:
Can you see AI robots being a big part of aged care and NDIS support?
