Despite the understandable gloom following the #NDIS therapy pricing review this week, I’m trying to stay calm, positive & connected to colleagues, & the profession I love, remembering we are much more effective when we stick together to solve problems & to support participants.

Interesting #NDIS case: "s. 45 of the NDIS Act does not create an automatic right [in favour of providers] to payment. Instead, it requires the NDIA to determine whether payments are appropriate under the law."

Yes! DLD is a lifelong neurotype: adults do not “grow out” of DLD, so we must have things in place to support them. We need universities, employers and health services to know that anyone of any age could have DLD!
Services for adults with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) are nowhere near where they need to be. Join us in being part of the change! We believe that with the right support, people with #DevLangDis can thrive. #DLDDay
