Two new activities will be offered from July by Regional Youth Support Services (RYSS) along with their usual range of Abilities Programs for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recipients.
Expressions of interest have been invited for the new Tabletop Gaming program.
This inclusive group will have fun learning how to play games like ‘Magic the Gathering’, ‘Pokemon’ and ‘Dungeons and Dragons’.
The second new inclusive program to be offered by RYSS from July will be a Cosplay Costume Design group.
Participants will learn how to design their own Cosplay costume to wear to Central Coast Comicon.
RYSS Abilities Programs are social engagement and living skills-based programs open to young people aged 12 to 25 years old who are eligible for NDIS funding in a range of core and capacity building areas.
The workshops and group activities are designed specifically to help children, young people, and families build their skills, independence and resilience.
Groups are targeted, innovative, and flexible in their delivery and guided by evidence-based content to ensure relevant, comprehensive and engaging experiences by all participants.
Programs run for eight weeks and places are limited.
Other term three group programs will include cooking on Mondays and Tuesdays (from July 19 and 20), Abilities X-fit fun (also on Mondays from July 19) and a Q-Abilities social group to sexuality and gender-diverse NDIS participants.
