The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding for people with significant and permanent disabilities between the ages of 7 and 65 to access various support and services. The prospective participants have to be Australian citizens, permanent residents,
or Protected Special Category Visa holders for fulfilling the eligibility criteria. If there is a child younger than 7 who exhibits developmental delay or disability, NDIS provides early childhood support to address the child’s individual disability support needs. Usually, health
or educational professionals are the first point of contact for majority of the parents who have concerns regarding their children with disabilities. These professionals can then connect the parents with Early Childhood Partners for necessary guidance.
The NDIS provides early childhood support to children with disabilities based on the Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) approach which focuses on offering timely assistance during the early stages of a child’s life, allowing them to reach their full potential.
An ECEI NDIS plan will help children with ongoing disabilities to access early support and services which may reduce their future support needs. Parents can ensure that their children get the most out of their ECEI plan funding by asking for plan management support as well. Plan Management support will help you access expert advice from experienced plan managers regarding your child’s disability funding. Plan managers will ensure that your child’s service providers are paid on time and take away the stress of budget management.
Plan Guard Plan Managers can provide all the necessary guidance regarding plan management support and how to access it in your child’s ECEI plan. We understand the importance of early intervention as it is critical for providing optimal support for children with disabilities in their formative years.
