Why take this course?

NDIS plans often fail to reflect the true support needs of participants. Every day, SIL providers experience a disconnect between the assessment of support needs, versus what their actual needs are when supporting them on-the-ground. Missing crucial details about a person’s functional abilities can lead to inadequate funding, unmet needs and heightened risk for the individual. 

The good news? In many cases, this gap can be addressed with effective communication. This two-part workshop introduces a practical tool* for SIL providers to better identify and articulate unmet support needs – in as little as 15 minute increments throughout a person’s day. 

By the end, SIL providers will feel better equipped to identify and communicate participant needs to assessors and planners, leading to better SIL funding outcomes and quality supports. And who wouldn’t want that? 

*Note: This is not a formal assessment tool to be submitted as evidence to the NDIA, but a tool to effectively and accurately understand a person’s true support needs.
