Families and care givers play an important part in the development and well-being of children and young people with disability. Therefore discussions about the support and services in the child or young person's NDIS plan should also acknowledge and facilitate support for the family and provide individualised and tailored reasonable and necessary supports.
Parents or caregivers as plan nominees have valuable knowledge and know their child best. This information is shared with the Early Childhood Early Intervention Coordinator or Local Area Coordinator for the creation of goals and aspirations which will be linked to the funds in the NDIS plan.
General information about the NDIS.
CYDA believes that through self-managing the NDIS funds for your child or young person, this type of plan management that can provide greater flexibility, choice and control to build a good life. CYDA is currently working on a project to build capacity of families to self-manage their child's NDIS plan.
The “In control our way: supporting NDIS self-management” is funded from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) Readiness Grant Round 2018-19.
The aim of this project is to establish an information and peer support model to build the capability of families to self-manage their child or young person supports. The project is delivered through co-design process with families to ensure the information, process and resources built over the project meet their needs.
This project includes consultation and co-design through an advisory group who provide ideas and share experiences about supporting choice and control, and how families of children with disability can best support their child’s NDIS plans. The advisory group has families from different states and territories represented and has been meeting monthly since October 2019.
CYDA, together with the advisory group, are developing a series of resources which will be available on this page if you are interested to learn more about NDIS self-management or keen to move from from agency or plan management to self-management.
In the meantime you can contact us get support and information about self-management option.
