What is NDIS funded Life Skill Development support?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides a range of services to support people with disabilities in developing life skills. These services are designed to help NDIS participants gain the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.
NDIS participants need and use supports to develop life skills for various reasons. For instance, some participants may need support in developing essential skills such as communication, personal hygiene, and social interaction. Others may require assistance in developing skills to increase their independence, such as budgeting, meal planning, and housekeeping.
Accessing life skills services is a straightforward process for NDIS participants. They can request this service through their NDIS plan by discussing their skill development needs with their support coordinator or NDIS planner. Alternatively, they can find registered providers offering this service through the NDIS provider portal or by contacting the NDIS contact centre.
Why access Life Skills Development supports?
Developing life skills is an essential aspect of the NDIS, as it involves helping participants develop the skills, they need to become more independent and achieve their goals. Life skills are the skills and knowledge necessary to manage one's life effectively and efficiently, including skills related to communication, socialization, personal care, household management, budgeting, and more.
