  1. HOW NDIS FUNDING CAN BE USED FOR YOUR COMMUNICATION AIDS What are communication Aids? Communication aids refer to the instruments or devices that help disabled individuals to communicate with others easily. The terms like alternative or augmentative communication or AAC are commonly used to refer to communication aids. Did you know that there are many ways to get communication aids to support your goals? There might be available fundings already in your NDIS plan, or you might need some more. Communications aids are one of the most important devices that are used for helping disabled people to get their messages across, as part of Augmentative and Alternative Communications (AAC). As an individual, you must think about the assistive technology needs and discuss them with your NDIS service provider Melbourne or planner. Listing down how disabled individuals can use their NDIS funding and give some planning tips for your communication support needs. Core Supports budget: Consumables subcategory The NDIS participants do not need a quote or approval every time from the NDIS to use their fundings. If you are managing the funds on your own, you are not required to get the sign of the NDIS service provider on a service agreement either. It's as simple as buying things from a shop. You can use the NDIs funding for the low-risk AAC that is low cost, up to $1500 per item. In addition, the NDIS funding can be used flexibly. For example, you can avoid spending all your fundings on community spending so that you can properly use the fundings for their community aids. Keep a check on your planner to ensure that you have enough funds in your core support budget to meet your core needs.

  2. Capital Supports budget: Assistive Technology subcategory This funding category is specifically for the highly customised items, like the dedicated communication instruments or devices for the needy. Examples of items that can be purchased under this category are high tech or electronic AAC. It is considered the best option to buy the PODD communication books under this category as they are one of the most robust and complex language systems. YOUR NDIS planner can have AAC priced between $1500-$5000. They can include this funding before completing a detailed assessment or do a trial of the equipment first. If you want to purchase items, prices above $5000 require quotes and reports from the therapists. Not sure which communication aids you need? Discuss with your NDIS planner Suppose you lack the capital support fundings and can not use your core support fundings flexibly. In that case, it is advisable to contact your NDIS planner or local area coordinator and ask them for a review to get the required funding. Plan renewals THE NDIS tries to make the planning process easier and simple for all its participants. They provide the plan renewals for every participant. With this, you can get the same amount of funding as it was at the start of the plan, ensuring that your participant statement and goals remain the same. It is always advisable and best to start thinking about your future plans, whether you want it to renew or need more funding for a new AAC or additional therapy for your existing AAC.

  3. Start preparing for your next plan Request a plan review You can, without any hesitation, ask for the full plan review at the end of your current plan. Remember that it is not necessary that you need to have a plan renewal if you require more or different fundings. It is completely fine to share with the NDIS if you need more time or need to discuss it with someone else before deciding on it. Use your allied health funding The NDIS service provider Melbourne knows that you might need help or assistance from the specialist to get the right and most suitable AAC for you. The NDIS planners have started including allied health funding of a minimum of $500 when you have fundings in your plan for assistive technologies, including AAC. The fundings can also be used for consultation with the speech pathologist at NECAS that is specialized NECAS in AAC to help in determining the most suitable AAC for you. Repairs and maintenance of your AAC Does not matter what kind of AAC you use. There will always be a time when it needs repairs or might require some modification. This can include replacing lost cards for visual timetables or buying a new battery for your speech-generating devices. You can use either the capital support funding or core support funding as per your choice for the repairs. Conclusion If you have NDIS fundings and hesitate to use those fundings due to lack of knowledge and understanding, read the points mentioned above to clarify your doubts.
