How Lizard Can Help You Utilise NDIS Autism Funding The NDIS provides support to Australian people living with disabilities, which is both exciting and overwhelming. The good news is that Lizard is well-equipped to help families understand the NDIS and how the NDIS funding for autism can support early intervention services. Lizard has helped many families across the country to obtain the NDIS autism funding available for access to early intensive behavioral intervention.
NDIS funding for autism helps young children that are living with autism spectrum disorder connect with the right supports to pursue their goals, develop skills needed to increase their age-appropriate independence, assist with community participation, and develop the ability to actively take part in community activities. Lizard is dedicated to assisting families in gaining access to NDIS autism funding and providing support options for access to early intensive behavioral intervention, based on Positive Behaviour Supports, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
ABA is an evidence-based, comprehensive intervention with proven positive outcomes for children living with autism. The program is tailored to your child’s unique requirements, which promotes development, well-being, and community participation.
