What can I do to prepare?
You can prepare by:
- Thinking about your life now and into the future.
- Identifying your strengths, interests, networks, opportunities and challenges.
- Considering your current supports including your informal, mainstream and disability supports.
- Collecting your disability information, this may include existing reports and other information to support a NDIS access request.
- Creating words or pictures about your daily life and goals.
