The National Disability Insurance Scheme is providing Australians with disability unprecedented choice and control, enabling them to live an independent life and achieve the goals that are important to them, and people who are deafblind are no exception.

This workshop will shed light on how deafblindness fits in the NDIS framework and what you need to know to support deafblind participants with their NDIS journey. This workshop is aimed at support coordinators, NDIS planners, local area coordinators, allied health workers and advocates.

Incorporating:

• What common supports can deafblind people access – backing it up with evidence?
• Preparing for a planning meeting
• Goal setting
• Core and capacity building supports
• Making the seemingly impossible possible
• Information on support providers and organisations with capacity to assist deafblind clients
