The Self Advocacy Skills you Need as an NDIS Participant
Sometimes exercising our choice and control means standing up and speaking out. It can mean making our voice heard not only when things go wrong, but at every point on the NDIS journey. Because at every step, we know people get a better outcome when they’re informed of the NDIS system they need to operate within, and when they inform others of their specific wants and needs.
