Warrah provides individualised
disability services based on the principles of Curative Education and
Social Therapy developed by Rudolf Steiner. Central to Warrah’s
philosophy is adherence to ideals of mutual respect and service, and
responsiveness to the changing needs of each individual. Clients’
individual programs are developed in consultation with the clients,
their families or advocates, appropriate medical and other
professionals, and Warrah staff.
The great strength of the Steiner approach is the emphasis on the
awareness of each person’s humanity. This in turn leads to an
appropriate response to each individual’s changing needs. We encourage
the formation of friendships rather than having people simply sharing a
house under the supervision of a carer.
Warrah’s mission is to provide individual support for people with an
intellectual disability based on their aspirations and support needs
according to the principles of Dr Rudolf Steiner and the legislative
requirements of the New South Wales Disability Services Act (1993).
Warrah’s vision is to build a range of services to meet individual
choice and need; to provide a safe and happy living, learning and
working environment; and to be a provider of high quality services.
Warrah’s guiding values are respect for all individuals; encouragement
of individual development; honesty and integrity; and quality service
provision. |
