Why is the NDIS beneficial for people with intellectual disability?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was rolled out to provide support for people with disability on July 1st 2016.

The NDIS provides funding for people with disability to live their lives the way they want to. In this blog, we will discuss the benefits of the NDIS and why it is so important for people with intellectual disability.

The importance of the NDIS varies from person to person, but here are some of the key benefits that people with intellectual disability can receive from it:

Benefit 1

Increased independence

One of the main goals of the NDIS is to help people with disability become more independent. This means that people with intellectual disability will be able to live life on their own terms or work towards this, rather than relying on others for support.

Benefit 2

Improved quality of life

The NDIS can provide funding for a range of different supports that can help people with intellectual disability live a better quality of life. This could include funding for assistive technology, personal care support, or therapy services.

Benefit 3

Greater social inclusion

The NDIS can also help people with intellectual disability to become more included.

Benefit 4

More control over support

People with intellectual disability will have more choice and control over the supports that they receive. This means that they can choose the services and providers that best meet their needs.

Benefit 5

Better coordination of services

The NDIS can help to coordinate the different services that people with intellectual disability need. This can make it easier for people to access the supports that they need.

Benefit 6

Increased peace of mind

The NDIS can provide peace of mind for people with intellectual disability and their families. This is because they will know that there is a safety net in place to provide support if needed.

There are many services that can link with ones NDIS package to help support people with intellectual disability. It is important to explore all the services available to get the most out of the NDIS.

The NDIS can be a great help for people with intellectual disability, but it is important to remember that it is not a cure-all.

The NDIS can provide supports and assistance, but it cannot fix all the challenges that people with intellectual disability may face now or in the future. However, the NDIS can make a big difference in the lives of those who are eligible for support. If you or someone you know has an intellectual disability, we encourage you to find out more about the NDIS and how it could help you achieve your goals.
