Training usually happens in the environment where you will use the skill. For cooking, we come to your kitchen; for travel training, we go out on the bus or train with you to ensure real-world practice.

Q. Where does the training take place?

Q. Can I use Development-Life Skills to learn how to drive?
Generally, NDIS does not fund the cost of driving lessons. However, this funding can sometimes be used for pre-driving skills or travel training to help you use public transport independently if driving isn't an option.
-
Q. Do I need a specific assessment first?
It is often helpful to have an Allied Health assessment (like from an Occupational Therapist) to identify exactly which skills need development, but we can also work with you to identify practical goals based on your current plan.
-
Q. Is this strictly for home skills?
No, it covers "Daily Living" which includes life outside the home. This includes skills like grocery shopping, banking, going to the library, or handling interactions with businesses and service providers in your community.
