NDIS Psychology Support
At Open Minds Studio, we treat you and your NDIS plan with care and respect, ensuring that your needs and goals remain the priority.
While the NDIS provides valuable support for individuals with disabilities and neurodivergent needs, we believe in empowering you with choice and agency in how your plan is used to support your psychological needs.
Our psychologists can assist with:
Emotional regulation and well-being
Organisation and daily life management
Communication and social skills
Collaboration with your support team to enhance overall engagement and care
We are committed to working alongside you to make the most of your NDIS plan, ensuring you receive tailored support that aligns with your personal goals.
Information about NDIS Psychology Support
We provide support for adults and children from 6 years of age with an NDIS plan, tailored to their specific needs.
To ensure we are using the appropriate funds, we’ll need a copy of your NDIS plan.
We do not require you to sign a service agreement. With us, you and/or your carer maintain full control over your NDIS plan.
