NDIS Developing Life Skills is a support category under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that aims to assist individuals with disabilities in acquiring and enhancing essential life skills. The goal is to foster greater independence and autonomy, enabling participants to lead more fulfilling and self-directed lives.

This support focuses on a wide range of life skills, including but not limited to communication, personal hygiene, money management, meal preparation, time management, decision-making, and social skills. The NDIS recognizes that developing these skills is crucial for individuals with disabilities to participate more actively in their communities, pursue education and employment opportunities, and achieve their personal goals.

Support workers or therapists often work closely with participants, employing various strategies and personalized plans to teach and reinforce these life skills based on their unique strengths and needs.

The NDIS is Australia’s first national Scheme for people with disability. It provides funding directly to individuals.
