Who this guide is for
- People recently diagnosed with intellectual disability, or told they may qualify for the NDIS.
- Families and carers supporting someone living with it, who need the scheme explained once, clearly.
- Health professionals helping a person put an access request together.
- Support coordinators looking for something plain to hand a new participant.
This guide is general information, not clinical or legal advice. Funding decisions are made by the NDIA, and no provider can influence them.
