Change can bring about new and exciting opportunities. However, it can also bring uncertainty. Thinking about applying for the NDIS is a big decision. Therefore, it’s important to think about what it means for you.
In this worksheet we will go through a change activity – it may help you decide whether applying for the NDIS at this time in your life is what you want.
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.
