NDIS Myths and Mistakes with Anna Commons from Commonground Disability! Need I say more!? In this episode Anna and I address the following Myths and Mistakes:

Myth: NDIS don't fund Core supports for children because it is parental responsibility.

Myth: You need a diagonsis to get access to NDIA after the age of 7.

Myth: The NDIS don't fund sensory items.

Mistake: Asking NDIS to fund supports that it literally cannot fund.

Mistake: Expecting NDIS to fund everything because you child has a diagnosis.

Mistake: Thinking that homeschooling your child means more support via NDIS.

Myth: Kids don't get funding for support coordination.

Myth and Mistake: You plan manager will make sure you don't run out of funds.

Myth: Providers should charge the prices from the NDIS price guide.

Myth: Children should be funded for and attend intensive therapies and interventions while they're young.
