Advocacy for Education
- Sometimes, school just doesn’t go as well as you’d like. Multiple take-homes, suspensions, school staff have trouble following your behaviour support plan, or schools don’t communicate the way you’d like.
- Or, maybe you’d just like some help finding a good school for your child with disability? We can help.
- The Growing Space have extensive experience helping families find, manage and communicate with schools. We love being part of a team that gets a student enjoying school, especially in an inclusive environment.
- Often our assistance can be paid for with NDIS fund, but sometimes it is not an appropriate use of NDIS funds – every situation is unique, so let us know if you would like some help.
- We also recommend you contact the Free federally funded Advocacy agencies for their support, as we are not government funded and if your NDIS funds can’t be used, our fees will need to be paid out of pocket. You can find the free advocacy agencies at : https://disabilityadvocacyfinder.dss.gov.au/disability/ndap/
- If you would like to make an appointment. please send us an email with information about your situation and what support you are seeking to info@TheGrowingSpace.com.au
Workshops and e-learning
- Our NDIS workshops are a way to learn how to make the most of your NDIS plan, how to use your NDIS plan, and how to make the most of self management, as well as a chance connect with other people with NDIS Self or Plan managed plans. We often find that the best way to get great information and ideas is by speaking with others in the same boat.
- We also post regular updates on “What’s New” with the NDIS (it seems to change every few minutes!).
