Understanding the NDIS Workshop Video Series & Resources
18 July 2019
The "Understanding the NDIS" workshop was run multiple times throughout Victoria in 2018-19 for people with disability, families and carers. However, we wanted to help those who could not attend the workshop in person and therefore missed out on the information at the time. So we filmed the workshop, and it has been divided into 9 videos which have been placed on our YouTube channel.
The workshop explains things in plain, easy to understand language, and helps to increase your understanding of the NDIS and will build your confidence in dealing with the NDIA.
All videos have Auslan interpreting, captioning and audio description. A transcript for each video is also available.
The workshop handbook and fact sheets are available in PDF and Word and are written by people with disability, and are in plain language.
Videos - key NDIS concepts in Auslan
10 April 2017
A handful of the most common and important NDIS terms have now been translated into Auslan. This will make life easier when spelling out long terms like "information, linkages and capacity building (ILC)", which can now be described in a fast, elegant and logical new Auslan sign.
Other new translations are for these common NDIS terms; 'ordinary life', 'choice and control', 'reasonable and necessary', 'permanent and significant disability', 'informal supports', 'Early Intervention' and 'Local Area Coordinator'.
