Once you’ve set out your goals in your National Disability Insurance Scheme plan, you need to put this plan into practice – this is where Support Coordination comes in.
Support Coordination helps you better understand the NDIS, links you up with service providers that are right for you, and connects you to support networks, both mainstream and informal, that can help you live life your way.
A Support Coordinator will work with you to increase your capacity to maintain relationships, manage the services you access, live with independence, and be involved in your community.
How about Specialist Support Coordination?
Some people may need more specific or a higher level of support due to the complexity of their own personal situation – this is where a Specialist Support Coordination service can help.
Living My Way offers Specialist Support Coordination for those who need more specific support. This service is provided by an Allied Health Professional – such as an Occupational Therapist or a Speech Pathologist, usually chosen by the NDIS – who is better equipped to handle the more particular nature of your situation to coordinate support that’s right for you.
These Specialist Support Coordinators can help manage any challenges you face in your support environment to reduce the hurdles you have in using your NDIS plan.
