Develop your child’s NDIS Goals with Komplete Abilities and discover how as a team we can make vast improvements to your participant’s overall quality of life. Consider the necessary disability supports that can aid your child in pursuing these aspirations. It's valuable to involve your child and significant individuals in their life when determining these goals, ensuring alignment with their needs and aspirations.
Your child's NDIS goals represent the aspirations you have for them, with the backing of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and supplementary support services.
These goals may include various objectives such as:
Your child's goals play a pivotal role in their NDIS plan, offering clarity to your family and support providers regarding your priorities and envisioned outcomes. Goal setting is fundamental within the NDIS planning process.
It's advisable to commence contemplating your child's goals when contacted by an NDIS representative to schedule your planning discussion. This ensures readiness to discuss and finalise your child's goals during the planning session.
When deliberating on your child's NDIS goals, start by assessing their daily routines and preferences. For instance, if your child requires assistance with dressing, a goal might be to enhance their independence in this activity.
Consider your child's interests as well. For instance, if they enjoy board games but struggle with sharing, a goal could involve facilitating social interactions during game sessions.
Also, reflect on the impact achieving these goals would have on your family dynamics and consider what support mechanisms would facilitate your child's development and your caregiving responsibilities.
As you formulate your child's goals, think about:
Short-term goals, integrated into your child's NDIS plan, outline objectives to be pursued within the plan's duration. These goals are typically specific and measurable, offering insight into your child's progress and plan effectiveness.
For example, a short-term goal might involve your child independently handling a spoon.
Medium and long-term goals encapsulate your and your child's aspirations for their future, such as transitioning to high school or pursuing further education. These goals are broken down into actionable steps, facilitating progress tracking.
For instance, a long-term goal could be enhancing your child's ability to form friendships, with steps including practising turn-taking and initiating conversations.
Your child's NDIS plan allocates funds to support goal attainment, necessitating alignment between allocated supports and identified goals. These supports may originate from the NDIS or other sources, tailored to your child's needs.
For instance:
Depending on your child's age and capabilities, involve them in the goal-setting process to empower them and enhance their sense of control. Seek input from individuals familiar with your child, such as educators, healthcare professionals, and therapists, to ensure comprehensive goal development.
