Funded by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and developed by Amaze, the peak body for people on the autism spectrum, the NDIS Readiness Resource gives participants a chance to work through a checklist, identify and prioritise needs, and create goals.

Syndromes without a name

Amaze community engagement manager Deirdre Hardy said when people joined the NDIS they met with a planner to set goals, and according to those goals and support needs, would be allocated a certain amount of money.

“What our community has said to us is they have felt unsure about how to approach the meeting with the planner; some are worried if they don’t say the right thing they’re scared their children will miss out,” Ms Hardy said.
