Sky's the Limit Disability Services

Sky's the Limit Disability Services Sky's the Limit is a client-focused organisation that supports people living with a disability.

Sky’s the Limit Disability Services has been established in response to local community demand for quality disability support services. It is focused on managing unique, individually tailored supports to improve the health and wellbeing of South Australians living with a disability. Tim, our General Manager, has around 30 years’ experience in, and extensive knowledge of, the disability and community sectors, working across various disability sporting and recreation groups. He has also worked extensively in the employment of people living with a disability and is focused on the issues which most affect daily life. Working in the disability sector has enabled Tim to develop a deep understanding of the NDIS. This includes helping people to describe their goals, understand the supports available to them, and learn how to develop an NDIS plan that meets their needs. Tim's life experience means he has particular expertise in assistive technology, mobility, life skills, blind and low vision sport and recreation, and coming to terms with vision loss. Tim understands the key issues in the Australian disability sector that, when addressed, can remove barriers to people living with a disability achieving their goals. We offer the following services:
• Support with cleaning, gardening, and home maintenance
• Assistance with managing and attending appointments and going shopping
• Help with personal organisation and administration
• Support with community participation such as going for a walk, attending events or meeting new people
• Assistance with sport and recreation activities

👩‍🦯 Happy White Cane Day! 👨‍🦯

Every year on October 15, we celebrate White Cane Day – a day that highlights the vital role of the white cane in supporting safe travel and independence for people who are blind or vision impaired.

The white cane is more than a tool – it’s a key to moving confidently, finding your way and taking control in everyday life.

At Sky’s the Limit Disability Services, we’re proud to support participants who use white canes, guide dogs and other mobility tools. We recognise their skills, determination and the importance of accessible communities.

Next time you see someone using a white cane:
✅ Stop, look and give them space to pass safely
✅ Offer assistance only if needed – but always ask first
✅ Remember that independent mobility is something to be respected and celebrated

Let’s spread awareness and make our spaces safer and more welcoming for everyone.

We loved exploring new assistive tech at last week's See Differently with the Royal Society for the Blind Tech Fest!
Among the screen readers, magnifiers and smart kitchen tools, one invention really caught our attention — Ashirase, a navigation aid worn in your shoes that helps people with low vision navigate directions when walking.
You can learn more about Ashirase here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE7p6ZYQ0c8&t=101s
Would you give them a try? What’s the best accessibility innovation you’ve seen lately?

Today is World Sight Day!

Observed every year on the second Thursday in October, World Sight Day is a global event coordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB).

It’s a day to raise awareness about eye health, prevent avoidable blindness and ensure that everyone has access to the eye care they need.

At Sky’s the Limit Disability Services, we’re passionate about helping people with vision loss live full and independent lives. 💙

Get in touch with us to find out how we can support you or someone you care about, or to learn more about how you can make a difference in the life of someone with vision loss.

Let’s work together to make eye health for all a reality.

🌟 Choice and Control with STLDS 🌟

At Sky’s the Limit Disability Services, we stand behind the NDIS goal of giving you choice and control.

We provide services that meet your needs and offer information and advice so you can make the decisions that matter most to you. With us:
✅ You choose what supports you need
✅ You decide how, when and by whom you are supported
✅ You can select from our wonderful team of support workers so you feel comfortable

We help you navigate the NDIS and tailor supports to your individual needs, preferences and goals. Whether it’s learning a new skill, finding a job or joining community activities, supports designed around your goals are more meaningful and effective.

Having choice and control means you get to set your priorities and make decisions about what matters to you. It also motivates us to provide high-quality, creative and responsive services—because one size doesn’t fit all!

Even if you need help making decisions, the NDIS supports supported decision-making, ensuring your voice is heard and your preferences are respected.

💙 You’re at the centre of your support. Your goals. Your choices. Your life.

🎉🎂 Happy 60th Birthday, Mary! 🎂🎉

Recently, we had the absolute joy of helping our dear client Mary celebrate her milestone birthday. 💛

Our team supported Mary by liaising with the venue, organising the catering, and even arranging some very special birthday cakes. A highlight was Rachael Leahcar performing some of Mary’s favourite songs, making the day extra memorable 🎶

Mary spent the day surrounded by friends and family, enjoying laughter, music and love – and we were honoured to be part of it all. 💙

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do – helping create memories that last a lifetime. 🌟

It’s National Week of Deaf People!
September 22 – 28 is a special time to celebrate the Deaf community and recognise the contributions of Deaf and hard of hearing people across Australia.
At Sky’s the Limit, we are proud to have amazing support workers like Sandra, who is hard of hearing herself. 💙
Sandra brings a unique perspective to her work — she understands the communication challenges Deaf people face every day and uses her lived experience to provide truly person-centred support. She’s skilled at using clear communication strategies, advocating for accessibility, and helping participants build confidence and independence.
This National Week of Deaf People, we celebrate Sandra and all the ways she helps create an inclusive, empowering environment for the people we support. 🌟

Have you heard of the ART?

No, not painting or sculpture — we’re talking about the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART)!

Government is full of acronyms, but this one is worth knowing. Last October, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) was replaced by the ART — and it could make a big difference for you.

The ART is an independent tribunal that can review and even change decisions made by government agencies — including the NDIA (NDIS decisions).

Here’s why the ART matters:
🔹 If you disagree with a government decision (NDIS, disability support, Centrelink, tax, veterans’ entitlements, etc.), you can have it reviewed independently.
🔹 Processes are designed to be more accessible, fair and user-friendly, with less formality and lower costs.
🔹 There’s a strong focus on disability access, interpreters and supports for people navigating the process.
🔹 The ART aims to be transparent and accountable — helping ensure mistakes are corrected and decisions are fair.

Knowing about ART could mean having clearer pathways to challenge unfair decisions and protect your rights. Learn more here: https://www.art.gov.au/applying-review/national-disability-insurance-scheme

Did you know...?
Guide dogs are trained not to always obey commands — they practice what’s called “intelligent disobedience.”
For example, if their handler tells them to go forward but there’s an oncoming car or an unsafe obstacle, the dog is trained to refuse the command. This is a rare skill in the animal training world — most service animals are taught to follow commands consistently, but guide dogs must sometimes override their handler’s instructions to keep them safe.

🎓📚 As part of her PhD journey at USQ, Aasha Rose – who works as a braille teacher in Adelaide – has entered the Three Minute Thesis competition!

Her presentation, “Does braille literacy impact quality of life?”, is now live – and your support could help her win the People’s Choice Award.

👍 Jump online, watch her video, and give it a thumbs up to help Aasha take home the win!

Here are a few fascinating facts about braille:

- Around 6 million people use braille globally.
- In South Australia, students can learn braille at SASSVI (SA School and Services for Vision Impaired) and at See Differently with the Royal Society for the Blind
- Braille exists in every language, including Esperanto!
- It’s a binary system, making it compatible with digital technology like computers and tablets.
- Skilled braille readers average 125 words per minute, matching the typical speaking rate.
- People who learn braille early can read up to 138 words per minute with both hands, though sighted readers still lead at an average of 250 words per minute!
