About this NDIS support item

The NDIS pricing guide for Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) supports outlines the costs associated with accessing professional services, such as speech pathology. These supports are tailored to meet the individual needs of participants and are determined by their specific NDIS plans and goals.

Examples

For example, if a child requires speech therapy to improve communication skills, the NDIS may fund sessions with a registered speech pathologist. The pricing for these services will depend on the duration and frequency of the sessions as outlined in the participant's plan.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cost of speech pathology services under the NDIS?

The cost of speech pathology services varies based on the specific needs outlined in the participant's NDIS plan. It is important to consult the pricing guide for detailed information.

How are supports determined for NDIS participants?

Supports are determined based on the individual goals and requirements of each participant's NDIS plan. It is essential to have a tailored approach to meet specific needs.

Can I change my NDIS plan to include more speech therapy sessions?

Yes, participants can request a review of their NDIS plan to include additional supports, such as more speech therapy sessions, if it aligns with their goals.
