NDIS Pre-planning Toolkit for people with disability entering Higher Education or Vocational Education and Training

NDIS & tertiary ed pre-planning toolkit postcard "Getting the Right Support at the Right Time with the Right People."

 

 

The NDIS Pre-planning Toolkit for people with disability entering Higher Education or Vocational Education and Training is designed to be used before you start a tertiary course at university or with a vocational education and training provider.

Your disability may mean you require extra support to complete your chosen course to ensure your participation is on the same basis as other students. These booklets will help you identify what supports you may need, who is responsible for providing them and how you can access them.

There are eight specific resources for the most prevalent disability types accessing further education and training.

Getting the Right Support at the Right Time with the Right People - NDIS Pre-planning Toolkits have been designed for people with disability to use before they start their studies at a university, TAFE, or other vocational education and training provider, and when they have their first National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan or review. “There can be a lot of thought and planning needed by anyone before they embark on a further education or training course”, says Darlene McLennan, the National Disability Coordination Officer for Northern Tasmania. “But for people with disability there can be many more additional considerations that need to be taken into account, such as personal care needs while on campus, assistive technology and study supports”.
