NDIS Therapeutic Support provided by WesternCare Enterprise is designed to help individuals with disabilities improve their functional skills and enhance their overall well-being. These services are often tailored to the specific needs of the participant and are delivered by allied health professionals.

NDIS Therapeutic Support at WesternCare Enterprise:

  1. Types of Therapeutic Support we provide:

    • Physiotherapy: Aims to improve movement, flexibility, and physical function. It's often used for participants with mobility issues, physical disabilities, or pain.

    • Occupational Therapy (OT): Helps participants develop the skills needed for daily activities (like dressing, cooking, or using technology), and can also assist with assistive technology.

    • Speech Therapy: Helps with communication skills, including speech, language, and swallowing difficulties.

    • Psychology Services: Provides mental health support to improve emotional well-being and address behavioral challenges.

    • Behavior Support: Tailored for individuals with complex behavioral needs, aiming to reduce behaviors that might be challenging and promote positive alternatives.

  2. Eligibility for Therapeutic Support:

    • Therapeutic supports are available for NDIS participants who require help to achieve their goals related to improving functional skills, independence, and well-being.

    • The supports are typically funded under the Capacity Building budget of an NDIS plan.

  3. How It Works:

    • Assessment: A therapist or allied health professional will assess the participant’s needs and create a treatment plan. This can include a range of therapeutic interventions and strategies.

    • Individualized Support: The therapist will tailor the support to suit the participant’s goals. For example, if the goal is to improve mobility, physiotherapy sessions might be included.

    • Regular Reviews: The NDIS plan is reviewed periodically, and if the therapeutic support is working well, it can continue or be modified to meet changing needs.

  4. Types of Goals That May Include Therapeutic Support:

    • Improving independence in daily tasks (e.g., dressing, eating, managing personal care)

    • Reducing pain or improving physical function (e.g., through physiotherapy)

    • Developing better communication or swallowing skills (e.g., speech therapy)

    • Managing emotions and behaviors (e.g., psychology services or behavior support)

    • Enhancing social participation and community engagement.

Accessing Therapeutic Supports:

  • During your NDIS planning meeting, you can discuss your therapeutic needs. The planner will determine whether these services are needed and include them in your plan.

  • If you already have a plan, you can request additional therapeutic support if your needs change, or if you find that additional therapy will help you achieve your goals.
