The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide support and services to individuals with disabilities, including those with autism. NDIS autism funding refers to the financial assistance and resources that are allocated to individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) under the NDIS.
The NDIS provides a person-centred approach to disability support, aiming to empower individuals with disabilities and their families to have more control over their care and services. When it comes to autism, the NDIS recognises that each person's needs are unique, and funding is allocated based on an individual's goals, functional capacity, and support requirements.
NDIS autism funding can cover a wide range of support services, including but not limited to:
Early intervention services: These services aim to support children with autism in their early years, focusing on skill development and improving functional abilities.
Therapeutic supports: Funding can be provided for various therapies, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavior support, and psychological services.
Assistive technology and equipment: The NDIS may fund specialised devices, communication aids, or assistive technology that can enhance an individual's communication, mobility, or independence.
Personal care and daily living supports: Funding may cover assistance with personal care activities, such as dressing, grooming, eating, and mobility.
Support coordination: NDIS funding can also be allocated to support coordination services, which assist individuals in navigating the disability support system, accessing appropriate services, and developing and implementing their NDIS plans.
The specific funding and support available through the NDIS for autism can vary depending on individual circumstances, as it is tailored to each person's unique needs. Eligibility for NDIS support is determined through an assessment process, and individuals must meet certain criteria to be eligible for funding.
It's important to note that this information is based on the NDIS as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, and there may have been updates or changes to the scheme since then. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is recommended to visit the official NDIS website or contact the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), which oversees the NDIS in Australia.
It's impossible to say for sure how much money goes into funding for research into a 'cure' for Autism overall, but an example would be to look at Autism Speaks which is the largest organisation focusing on Autism in the US and is pro-eugenics* so supports finding a 'cure'. In 2012 Autism Speaks put $15,790,797 into research, most of which was focused on finding a 'cure'. * Autism is a neurological difference; it's how a persons brain works and who they are, as such Autism cannot be seperated from the person. Autism can no more be cured than you can cure being African-American, the only way to get rid of autism would be to get rid of all the Autistic people. In supporting a cure what people are saying is that Autistic people are worth less than Neurotypical people, or that Autistic people are broken Neurotypical people, and to support finding a 'cure' for autism is essentially supporting eugenics.
