The NDIS funds supports that help you access and participate in education, but not the education itself.

That means the NDIS can fund things like a support worker to help you get ready for school or uni, assistive technology you need to learn, or transport where your disability means you can't get there independently.

The education system covers the rest: fees, tutoring, teachers' aides and changes to school buildings are the responsibility of schools and education departments.

Moving from school to further study or work is also something the NDIS can support through Capacity Building funding. It's worth raising as a goal at your planning meeting. Have questions about an upcoming plan review? Email hello@providerchoice.com.au.
