Description:
People with acquired neurological disability have the right to quality disability support, yet there is still limited user insights shaping disability services. This research aimed to develop a comprehensive understanding of quality support for adults with acquired neurological disability. The results reveal a holistic model of quality support grounded in the lived experience of people with acquired neurological disability, disability support workers and close others of people with disability. The model encompasses themes around autonomy, relationships, worker competency, team dynamics, provider practices, and sector considerations. The findings align with disability rights and individualised funding principles, emphasising the centrality of people with lived experience in shaping support services.
