How to use the illustrations
The illustrations on this website are not prescriptive. They depict a range of concepts that the Standards for Disability Services in Victoria (the Standards) represent. Each illustration is intended to facilitate and build capacity for increased understanding rather than to portray a specific concept or idea.
A single illustration represents multiple concepts. People with a disability are encouraged to interpret the concepts to gain an understanding of what the Standards mean to them.
People are encouraged to use the illustrations to support people with a disability, their family members and carers in a variety of activities including but not limited to:
- choosing services and supports
- understanding their rights
- developing an individual plan
- choosing daily routines
- developing communication tools
- enhancing choice and decision making.
Below is a guide to assist illustration discussion.
