Answering the following questions will give you the opportunity to think about and explore your identity before engaging with the NDIS.
You can use this worksheet in different ways. For example, you can enter text in the boxes. If you’d like to express yourself in another way, for example visually – then leave the box blank before printing it.
Speaking up for what you want can be challenging. You can use the IMHA self-advocacy in combination with this worksheet to help you let people know what it is you want.
