For any family caring for a child or young adult with a disability, the underlying question

00:00:12

that always exists is, what happens when I'm gone? Knowing how your child will cope once parental support is no longer available, the routines that have been built up, the information stored in the parent's heads, the

00:00:28

network of carers and support that provide the necessary quality of life to your child could all be lost or disrupted

00:00:37

Succession planning is therefore of paramount importance

00:00:41

Ability 8 launched in 2017 addresses these problems

00:00:46

As a subscription -based application, Ability 8 provides a centralized repository of information focused on the person with a disability

00:00:56

From essential knowledge such as allergies, care procedures and funding details, through two inventories of their contacts or wardrobe, their goals and aspirations or employment history

00:01:09

Once the client's profile has been set up, the family can then invite other users to access their private family environment

00:01:17

This could be other family members, carers, support staff or friends of the client

00:01:24

Then, using permissions, the family can give each user a fully -customised access to view and or edit only the information that is relevant to their relationship with the client

00:01:38

However, these features are only the basis of what the Ability 8 application can do for your family and the higher subscription levels help address a broader range of management options

00:01:51

As the National Disability Insurance Scheme rolls out across Australia over the next three years, one of the options available to families is the self -management of funding

00:02:03

The advantage of self -management is that as costs of service providers are reduced or the family

00:02:15

On the other hand, the responsibility for families that have no experience managing their own funding can appear daunting, with no current tools or formal process to centralise this information

00:02:29

Ability 8 bridges this gap, providing a centralized framework for a family to manage care and funding

00:02:37

With an elevated subscription, the family can schedule carer shifts, generate time sheets and process payments all from within the application, as well as store a log of NDIS claims and see an overview of funding within

00:02:53

monthly and annual budgets

00:02:56

All tax and superannuation details can be added to the system to ensure full legal compliance and pay slips can be emailed to employees

00:03:07

And as you can see, the layout of the site is nearly identical on tablet or mobile devices, so ease of use is consistent for all users

00:03:17

Where confident you'll find Ability 8 invaluable, both as a repository of easily shared information and to enable more funds to go towards care rather than administration of services
