About the webinar:
Are you looking to build your understanding of the NDIS and what it might mean for Autistic people? Amaze is delighted to partner with Kim Henderson from Maroondah City Council to offer regular NDIS workshops tailored specifically for participants with an autism diagnosis. During this free online workshop, you will hear from a sector expert and participate in a live Q&A with members of the Amaze team.
In this session we will explore the planning phase of the NDIS, including how to create effective goals and a carer statement. We will use actual carer statements and participant goals as examples, making live edits and showing you how normal statements can be adapted to meet the needs of the LAC and NDIA.
The session will be private and an opportunity to receive direct feedback, so we encourage participants to bring their carer statements and participant goals to workshop them during the session.
We welcome registrants to submit any questions in advance to [email protected] and we will endeavour to answer them in the Q&A session at the end of the workshop presentation.
