Empowering People with Down syndrome or intellectual disability <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Down Syndrome Australia (DSA) is working with a Project Reference Group to co-create accessible resources that help people with Down syndrome or intellectual disabilities understand and exercise their rights when accessing NDIS services and supports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DSA also collaborated with service providers and workers to develop targeted resources for other colleagues in their sector. These resources aim to enhance their knowledge and skills in upholding the rights of people with disabilities within the NDIS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This approach ensures that both people with disabilities and their support workers or service providers are equipped with the tools and information they need to navigate the NDIS confidently and respectfully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
