Designing with you
Setting the standard with beautiful, practical solutions for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
SDA for high physical support
We at SDA My Way know that you are the expert on you or your family member. You know your housing design needs better than anyone. We will partner with you to ensure that the design, the fixtures, and fittings are purpose fit for your specific access needs.
We support personal choice. We are open to supporting the Cooperative Family Governance Models or developing a housing model with a SIL model of Service Provider support or choosing to Self-manage your supports.
Requiring SDA high physical support housing is a more complex design and build. Each person requires specific options to ensure that their housing needs are met. To make it right for you we will need to know a lot about your particular housing and care requirements before we embark on the design process.
High Physical Support housing includes all the requirements listed in the Fully Accessible design category, plus, structural provisions for ceiling hoists and 950mm clear opening width doors to all habitable rooms. They are also assistive technology ready, have heating, cooling and household communications technology including emergency power solutions to cater for a minimum two-hour power outage if the welfare of residents is at risk.
There are ten basic steps in the development of your future home.

SDA My Way has created a survey to better understand the needs of our future clients. It covers location, the type of housing you are eligible for and the model of housing that best suits your needs. If you can take the survey, we would be grateful as it will really help us with our planning to create the type of homes you want. Planning for the future
