The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has been fully rolled out in Queensland since January 2019 and participants have been exercising their choice and control with their approved funding, to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. This is fantastic for those with approved plans but for some the path to NDIS success has been littered with false starts and disappointment.
MEET LEONA
Meet one of our NDIS participants Leona. She is a mother, a grand-mother and loves to read and swim. She is also tower of strength who has just fought for nearly two years to be accepted on the NDIS for her condition.
Leona was been diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) which is a rare neurological disorder in which there is inflammation of nerve roots and peripheral nerves and destruction of the fatty protective covering (myelin sheath) over the nerves.
While Leona’s condition can never be cured, her quality of life has greatly improved in the last month. Steps are being made to re-engage Leona socially and increase her independence in the community and her long-term goal to re-enrol in university to finish her degree in Sociology looks to be an achievable dream.
