Do you feel you need training in ways to support your son’s or daughter’s
development?

Now you can use NDIS funding to help support them.

Remember to include Training in your NDIS Plan

We offer support for families who have a son or daughter who has intellectual or developmental disability; and who has behaviour which can be described as challenging.

As your Independent Support Coordinator we will support and assist you to optimise your NDIS plan, in order to get the best outcomes from your funded supports.

We provide information and advice for not just people with developmental disability who have complex communication needs, but also their families and supporters.

Are you finding some meetings with health, education and disability staff are difficult?

Do you feel you need someone to support you to stand up for your rights and be heard?
