From 1 July, 12 to 14 year olds will join the scheme, along with the 15-24 year olds who have participated in the trial of the scheme since July 2013.
New programs commencing next month include:
- School holiday and After School Program in Launceston
- A Gaming group in Huonville
Other social programs particularly tailored to NDIS participants include a Youth Group in Burnie and a Gaming Group in Launceston. There are also lots of opportunities to go on social outings and travel with Possability’s recreational groups. Our Northern Winter Program is packed with fun activities.
As the NDIS continues to roll out, Possability will be responding to the changing needs of clients and developing our services accordingly. Possability staff appreciated the opportunity to meet many students and families at six Beyond the School Gate sessions across the state in June. How the NDIS works and what new opportunities it presents were the hot topics of discussion.
Meanwhile, the National Disability Insurance Scheme has introduced a new streamlined approach to planning for new participants. See the My NDIS Pathway guide for further details.
