We have been connected with sue and IdareU for a few years now and we would honestly be lost without the strength and empowerment and knowledge she instills in me every time we talk. Sue has empowered and encouraged our family through the disability world equipping me with tools too navigate the new and constantly changing NDIS! Sue has been …
Today started out as nerve wracking, as I counted down the hours that I was to front up to the NDIS office for my Daughter’s second NDIS Planning meeting.
I am the mother of an adult daughter with Down syndrome and have just completed my first year as a self-managed NDIS participant.
I left there today feeling very sure that I would be doing things quite differently from now on….
Hi Sue,
Your workshop was very good. You gave everyone the opportunity to express themselves, tell their stories.
This is something, as you know, that us mums cannot share how we feel or have someone to listen to us, and understand what we are talking about.
I attended one of her Workshops regarding the NDIS and wow what an amazing Workshop! This Workshop I would recommend to anyone who may have any involvement with the up and coming NDIS. I now feel very positive, excited and empowered about the NDIS.
Sue is incredible I absolutely love her spirit and passion. Highly recommended
Before attending the Imagine Better Workshop I felt:
Oh no the NDIS… another thing to worry about and think about, I’ll just ignore it, put it on the back burner it will sort itself out, NOT. Oh no roll out, poop, what do I have to do its all too hard!
Hi Sue,
Thanks for the info and the workshop which I really enjoyed. I passed on the information that I received to several people who were unable to attend. I think they are a little more at ease about the NDIS now,
Daniel had an appointment with a podiatrist this afternoon (straight after the workshop) and I declared to him on the way that I thought he could handle the interaction with the receptionist (giving his name, etc and then dealing with the payment after & making a new appointment time).
He did so with minimal assistance from me and, as I said to my husband this evening, the pride and sense of achievement for Daniel with this small task was so obvious!
Before attending the Imagine Better workshop, I felt extremely lost on what NDIS is all about and was not sure that my daughter is eligible for NDIS even though she is currently on Future For Young Adults funding (post- secondary school).
When I left this workshop I felt very confident on what NDIS is, it’s rollout schedule, how it impacts my daughter and the ability for us – as parent and carer – to use NDIS funding to develop her further. We are also now sure about how FFYA will roll-over to NDIS.
