The theme this year for Speech Pathology Week from 23-29 August is “Communicating with Confidence!”
Communication, simply defined is the transfer of information from one place to another. It serves as a mean for connecting people and places. Communication is a basic human right.
As Support Coordinators, I reckon between the team, we have been involved in over one thousand NDIS plan reviews.
The review process is so lengthly and time consuming. It makes me wonder, is this being done intentionally so we just give up to save our sanity?

Belinda loves helping you make sense of your NDIS plan and helping you lower the stress through a greater sense of clarity and control.
If you are feeling pressured by another provider to move your Support Coordination to them, they are not an ethical provider. Sadly, this is very common. Providers that provide every service and want to monopolise and really need to stop trying to poach people and offer to do all their services. For many people, the benefits of having an independent Support Coordinator who does an awesome job greatly outweighs the service they are offering.
Participants are feeling this isolation heavily. I have had some weeks.

Let’s talk about the importance of schedules for moment. Besides the fact that being able to have choice and control, and make decisions about your own life is a basic right to communication…
We all keep some type of schedule to know what we are doing for the day..
