What is Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)?

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to specialized housing designed for people with significant disabilities who require specific modifications or support to live safely and comfortably.

SDA homes are purpose-built or modified to accommodate the needs of individuals with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities.

These homes offer accessibility features, including wheelchair ramps, lifts, wide doorways, and other modifications, that enable participants to live independently while receiving necessary support in Melton.

Difference between SIL and SDA

• Supported Independent Living (SIL): SIL focuses on the support provided to individuals with disabilities. It involves assistance with daily tasks like personal care, cooking, cleaning, and managing household chores. SIL can take place in any suitable living arrangement, including SDA homes, but it is centered on the level of care and support a person receives.
• Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA): SDA refers to the physical environment or housing that is designed to meet the specific needs of people with disabilities. SDA homes are equipped with the necessary modifications to make them accessible and safe for individuals with higher support needs.
