Who we support
Support for a mild intellectual disability
With a mild intellectual disability, daily life can quickly become too much. Post, money, appointments and rules are often complicated. We help you at home, at your own pace, with one permanent support worker.
Who is this support for?
For adults aged 18 and over with a mild intellectual disability who live independently or want to learn to.
- You want to live independently, but some things do not work out on your own yet.
- Letters and forms are hard to understand.
- You quickly lose track of money or appointments.
- People sometimes take advantage of your kindness.
What do we help with?
We work on the things you find important, in small steps.
- A fixed weekly and daily schedule
- Opening, reading and dealing with post
- Keeping track of money and bills
- Shopping, cooking and housekeeping
- Contact with organisations such as the municipality or housing association
- Saying no and knowing who you can trust
How we work
We explain things in plain language and do them together first.
We write agreements down so you can read them back later. We come at fixed times, so you know what to expect. When something goes well, you do more of it yourself.
Do you have a mentor, financial administrator or family who helps? Then we coordinate with them, if you agree.
How is it paid for?
From a personal budget (PGB) under the Wmo or the Wlz. With a PGB you choose your own support worker.
Who supports you?
Jermaine Sprott has worked in care for almost 10 years and agrees with you who your support worker will be. You have one permanent support worker who gets to know you well.
Who supports you?
Jermaine Sprott, founder of ZorgtVuldig, provides the support himself, is your fixed point of contact and agrees with you who supports you. He has worked in care for almost ten years, including in a forensic psychiatric hospital (TBS clinic) and with former detainees. Besides himself, affiliated care professionals work with us, such as Thom Kamminga, who has more than ten years of experience.

What is a mild intellectual disability?
With a mild intellectual disability you learn and understand more slowly than most people. The IQ is usually between 50 and 70, or slightly higher when there are also problems with self-reliance. Many people with a mild intellectual disability live independently, with some help.
Can you also help with a severe intellectual disability?
No. With a severe intellectual disability, ambulatory support is usually not enough. Care with more supervision is needed. Not sure? Call us and we will think along.
Can my financial administrator or mentor be involved?
Yes. With your permission we coordinate with your financial administrator, mentor or family.
