NDIS Applications

Some psychological diagnoses may qualify for NDIS funding:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Psychosocial Disability
• Intellectual Disability

If you are looking to get the right supports, you can book a free call to discuss the process.

We can help with:

• Assessments
• NDIS Applications

If you already have a diagnosis, we can look at the reports and make recommendations.

If you don't have a diagnosis yet, we can discuss if any assessments are appropriate.

Please note that an assessment never guarantees a result. The purpose of an assessment is finding out whether or not you or your child has a disorder. Even if you present with symptoms, that doesn't mean that those symptoms are enough for a diagnosis.

We can discuss this all in the free initial call:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior.
• It is a spectrum disorder, meaning that the symptoms and severity can vary widely between individuals.
• It is usually diagnosed in early childhood, but some individuals may not receive a diagnosis until later in life.
• The exact cause of ASD is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
• Common symptoms of ASD include difficulty with social interactions and communication, repetitive behaviors or routines, and intense interests in specific topics or objects.
• Some individuals with ASD may also have sensory sensitivities or difficulties with motor skills.
• There is no cure for ASD, but early intervention and therapy can help individuals with ASD to develop skills and strategies to improve their social and communication abilities, and to better manage their behaviors and emotions.
• The prevalence of ASD has been increasing in recent years, with current estimates suggesting that it affects approximately 1 in 54 children.
• While there is no definitive cure for ASD, early intervention and appropriate supports can help individuals with ASD to lead fulfilling lives and reach their full potential.
  

Psychosocial Disability

• Psychosocial disability refers to a range of disabilities that affect a person's mental health and their ability to participate fully in society.
• It can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, abuse, mental illness, and environmental factors such as poverty or social exclusion.
• Common symptoms of psychosocial disability may include anxiety, depression, mood swings, difficulty with social interactions, and difficulty with daily activities such as self-care and managing finances.
• Psychosocial disability can have a significant impact on a person's ability to work, study, or participate in other activities, and can lead to social isolation and other negative outcomes.
• Treatment and support for psychosocial disability may include therapy, medication, and other interventions to help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
• Social support and community-based programs can also be effective in supporting individuals with psychosocial disability and promoting their inclusion in society.
• There is a growing recognition of the importance of addressing psychosocial disability and promoting mental health and well-being as a critical component of overall health and development.
