Ndis Speech Pathology in Sylvania
Yes, the NDIS supports your communication journey
It is a common mistake to think the NDIS is only for physical disabilities. The NDIS actually views communication as a vital skill for independence. This is why Speech Pathology is included under the Capacity Building section of many plans.
If your goal is to speak up for yourself, use technology to communicate, or safely enjoy a meal with friends, the NDIS is there to help. At our Sylvania clinic, we help you use your funding to build these life skills. We make sure every session moves you closer to the life you want to lead.
