With the NDIS, families are best to not be thankful for what the NDIA offers your autistic child. Try to get help and impartial advice so you can document clearly your child's needs, especially best practice EI. Then be prepared to fight the NDIA (and the education system) to get funding for reasonable and necessary services and supports. While the NDIA diverts families away from best practice EI for ASD, our autistic children will not be properly prepared for their education and subsequent adult life; the cost to families of autistic children and to the wider community will be enormous. The NDIA will fail in its key objective for its biggest participant group.
