MORE DETAILS

Kickstart Your Plan isn’t just a single technique or tool; it’s an easy process that helps us understand your history and current needs. We aim to identify your developmental needs, determine areas where you need support, and recommend interventions to help you achieve your full potential. This can include enrichment, therapeutic interventions, or essential support.

We use evidence-based recommendations to help you allocate your resources in the most effective way possible. We focus on building developmental capacity for those who have experienced trauma or neglect and helping people with disabilities reach their full potential. Kickstart Your Plan results can be reviewed regularly to track your neuro-developmental growth.

If you’re interested in our service, you can request it from ISM, and the costs can be claimed under the Improved Daily Living categories on your NDIS plan. For more information or to get started, don’t hesitate to contact Mandy at [email protected] or 0419 515 611.
