COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Assisting NDIS Participants with Access to Therapeutic Supports course. This program is designed to provide you with a solid understanding of how to support participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in accessing and navigating therapeutic supports.

Therapeutic supports are essential to improving functional capacity, psychosocial wellbeing, and independence for individuals with disability. As support coordinators and allied health assistants play a pivotal role in connecting participants to appropriate therapies, tracking their progress, and ensuring the delivery of supports aligns with both the NDIS framework and individual participant goals.

This course begins by exploring the fundamental purpose of therapeutic supports under the NDIS. These supports include a wide range of services delivered by professionals such as occupational therapists, speech pathologists, psychologists, and physiotherapists. A clear distinction will be made between therapeutic supports and other NDIS-funded categories (e.g., core support or community access), with an emphasis on the role of support coordinators in bridging the gap between planning and access.

An understanding of the NDIS structure is essential for ensuring participants receive the right supports under the appropriate budget categories. This section provides a breakdown of relevant funding categories—particularly Capacity Building Supports—and introduces the NDIS Price Guide. You will learn how to interpret price limits, line items, and plan rules that apply to therapy-related services, while navigating participant plans and funding arrangements confidently.

Before therapeutic supports can be accessed, participant needs must be thoroughly assessed and understood. This section explains how to conduct assessments in collaboration with families and professionals. It also covers methods for goal-setting, how to recognise indicators of unmet needs, and how to ensure all supports align with the participant’s unique circumstances and aspirations.

A core component of the course is working with allied health professionals. This section introduces the scope of practice for therapists including occupational therapists, speech pathologists, psychologists, and physiotherapists. It outlines the process for selecting qualified and NDIS-registered providers, and how to establish effective, respectful communication channels that contribute to collaborative and integrated care.

To ensure that therapeutic supports are meaningful and goal-directed, support plans must be tailored. This section addresses how to incorporate therapeutic services into participant plans, set measurable outcomes, and build in flexibility to adapt to changing needs or circumstances. It promotes person-centred planning aligned with best-practice therapy principles.

Access barriers such as transport, location, and language differences can prevent participants from engaging in therapy. This section explains how to facilitate practical access to services, including making referrals, scheduling appointments, and supporting the use of telehealth. It also explores inclusive approaches for participants in regional, rural, or culturally diverse communities.

Progress monitoring is critical to maintaining funding and demonstrating the effectiveness of interventions. This section outlines how to conduct regular reviews, document therapy outcomes, and prepare reports that will support future plan reviews or reassessments. Guidance will be given on how to work with therapists and families to identify when supports should be adjusted.

Participants often require supports that address their psychological wellbeing and functional behaviour. This section explores how to work with mental health professionals, implement psychosocial support strategies, and ensure that interventions are trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and culturally sensitive.

For participants with communication needs, therapy can significantly enhance independence and participation. This section covers how to identify communication barriers, introduce assistive technology such as AAC devices, and support families and carers in learning effective strategies. It also explores communication goals in the context of education, community access, and self-expression.

Mobility is a common therapeutic focus area for many participants. This section explains how to coordinate with physiotherapists and OTs to address physical barriers, implement movement programs, and ensure safe use of mobility aids. Environmental accessibility and safety considerations are also discussed.

Therapeutic supports frequently focus on developing the skills needed for daily living. This section outlines how to assist participants in building routines around hygiene, personal care, and domestic activities through occupational therapy interventions. The importance of family involvement and ongoing encouragement is highlighted throughout.

Interpersonal relationships are central to inclusion and wellbeing. This section explores social skills interventions, community engagement programs, and behavioural strategies to help participants build friendships, develop confidence, and navigate social spaces. It also addresses challenges such as social anxiety and communication difficulties.

NDIS plans are often shaped by formal assessments and written reports. This section provides an overview of the different types of assessments (e.g., functional, psychological, or communication assessments), how to coordinate their completion, and how to use their findings to update or amend participant goals and funding allocations.

Therapeutic supports must always comply with the rules and regulations of the NDIS. This section outlines how to remain compliant by maintaining accurate documentation, staying updated with policy changes, and following the NDIS Code of Conduct. It also highlights the importance of participant rights and informed consent.

Budgeting is a shared responsibility in ensuring therapies remain sustainable throughout a plan period. This section details how to allocate funds to therapy appropriately, monitor spending, and respond to changes in participant needs. It also outlines reporting requirements for overspend or underspend in Capacity Building budgets.

Families and informal carers are vital to the success of therapeutic outcomes. This section provides practical guidance for engaging families, communicating clearly about therapy goals, and addressing concerns in a respectful and collaborative way. It also highlights the importance of offering resources and psychoeducation to build family capacity.

At times, therapeutic support delivery may be interrupted or present risks. This section outlines how to identify potential therapy-related risks, create contingency plans, and respond to behavioural or environmental challenges. Emergency protocols, incident reporting, and therapist communication strategies are also included.

The final section of the course focuses on professional development and sustainability in therapeutic practice. It encourages reflective practice, peer collaboration, and ongoing training to ensure that workers remain responsive to emerging needs, new technologies, and evolving therapy models.

By the conclusion of this course, you will have gained a thorough understanding of how to assist NDIS participants in accessing therapeutic supports effectively, ethically, and efficiently. You will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to advocate for therapy access, support implementation, and contribute to improved functional and quality-of-life outcomes for individuals living with disability.

Each section is complemented with examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed.

Gus the goose Buster's new bff
My pitbull terrier loves his goose and has not tore this up but he had not tried either. He's funny with soft toys but loves A good tug of war or actual chew toy.

Fun Goose Dog Toy
I have a small dog with about 20 plush toys to play with. Added to her inventory now is the ILC Buy Interactive Goose Toy for Small Breeds. It took me a while to figure out where the toy "squeaks", and it makes the noise when the white banded neck around the goose is squeezed. My dog took an immediate liking to the toy and loves to carry it around the house, shaking her head back and forth with the goose in her mouth. It appears to be made primarily of burlap (see pictures) and is about 12-13" in length. Fortunately, my dog doesn't destroy toys, as some (probably larger) dogs do, so it appears to be pretty sturdy and well-made. After a week of playing with it regularly, the toy still looks brand new. I like the coloring and the size of the goose, and this is a nice addition to my dog's playtime routine. It is also priced appropriately for a dog toy of its size and quality. Recommended. Made in China.

Durable toy with a single squeaker
This goose seems to be made of fairly durable fabric. It's not flimsy. I had a hard time finding the squeaker in it at first, but then I realized the squeaker is located in the white neck! My medium border collie grabbed it first. Then my pitbull figured out where the squeaker was and ran around squeaking it for a while, which is her favorite thing to do. So this toy did get some interest from the pitbull especially. She isn't one to chew things up but really enjoys toys that make noise. Since the squeaker is in the skinny neck portion, it made it easy for her to grab hold of it and squeak it over and over again. I am giving this 4 stars only because in the whole long body of this toy, the neck has the only squeaker. I think it would have been better and more stimulating for my dogs if it had multiple squeakers or even some crinkles in the rest of the body...at least some crinkles in the flat feet of the duck. The sole attraction is that one squeaker in the neck. So it could be better, but I do like that it isn't super plush and full of stuffing that would be torn up in 5 minutes like most toys. My pitbull actually took this to another room away from her three sisters, so that means she really wanted to play with this by herself. That's a good sign.

Duck-time is play-time! Exactly what a dog toy should be!
Duck hunting for your living-room princess-pal best buddy goodest puppy in the world! Every dog deserves a chance to be a heroic duck hunting hero! This dog toy is a favorite of my pup. Duck-time is play time! This duck is made with several fabulous textures. There's a ropey texture around the neck, a burlap type texture for the body and head, and a felt-like texture for the bill and feet. My dog immediately tore the feet off! He always removes any hanging bits from all toys, so that's not a comment to the detriment of this product. He's working on the wings, now. My dog likes to chase this toy when I throw it or play tug-of-war with it, or is willing to sit and chomp on it by himself for a while. The rope is intact, still! This is exactly what a dog toy should be! Give your little buddy a hunting trophy!

Speaker broken
This toy is advertised as having a squeaker, but the one we had was defective and did not make any noise. Our dog still throughly enjoyed ripping this little duck to shreds through. The material was thicker than I was expecting but still only took our dog about 5 mins to completely destroy it (Golden retriever). I understand that this toy is marketed as for small dogs so I get that, but took away three starts because our came with the broken squeaker and for $10, you can find a lot better toys at TJ Max. This item is not a good value for our experience.
