Understanding Capital Supports, participants utilise the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) budget as a vital resource, which provides funding for essential items.
To navigate and understand its scope and limits is crucial. This article delves into assistive tech and home mods for empowerment.
Maximising the benefits of support and exploring how Permalink Support Services can serve as a beacon of support for NDIS participants.
Understanding The Capital Supports
Capital Supports encompass higher-cost items and one-off purchases that directly enhance the daily lives of NDIS participants.
This includes essential aids such as assistive technology, equipment, home modifications, and specialised accommodations like SDA.
Participants must utilise funds allocated within the Capital Supports budget solely for their designated purpose and cannot divert them for other expenses.
Key Support Categories:
Within the Capital Supports budget, two primary support categories stand out: Assistive Technology and Home Modifications. Let’s explore each category in detail:
Assistive Technology:
Assistive technology encompasses a wide range of devices, equipment, and systems designed to support individuals with disabilities in various aspects of daily living.
Examples of assistive technology include mobility aids (wheelchairs, walking frames), communication devices, sensory aids, and specialised computer software or hardware.
The Capital Supports budget provides funding for the purchase or rental of assistive technology tailored to the specific needs and goals of NDIS participants, facilitating greater independence and participation in activities.
Home Modifications:
Home modifications aim to adapt living spaces to accommodate the needs of individuals with disabilities, promoting safety, accessibility, and independence within the home environment.
Common home modifications include the installation of ramps, handrails, grab bars, accessible bathroom fixtures, widened doorways, and wheelchair-friendly pathways.
The Capital Supports budget allocates funds for home modifications, enabling participants to make necessary adaptations to their homes to enhance mobility, functionality, and overall quality of life.
