Starting in April 2019, the Goal Kicker of the Month award is Interaction’s first participant incentive scheme. Participants were nominated each month to recognise their hard work in making positive outcomes and working towards their goals. All Goal Kicker of the Month winners from the current calendar year are eligible for nomination.
Interaction is very excited to announce Isabella Smith as the 2019 Goal Kicker of the Year!
Isabella has worked hard on finding a job for 3 years and started work 2 days a week as a barista in May this year after facing many challenges. Isabella worked for 6 weeks before her employer decided she was so valuable they offered her work 5 days a week. After speaking to her manager, it was decided they would offer more training in office work and Isabella is learning new skills every day.
Not only has she proved herself as a capable and hardworking employee, Isabella recently co-hosted the Interaction AGM in front of an audience of 90 attendees.
Congratulations Isabella!
Your first look at an NDIS plan can leave you with more questions than answers and that’s okay Core Supports, Capacity Building, Capital Supports: three budget categories, each with its own rules and it’s not always obvious which one pays for what. Getting this wrong can mean funds sitting unused, or hitting a limit sooner […]
In the wake of proposed changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, you may have heard stories that the NDIS is getting rid of Support Coordinators. The short answer is, not yet, and not the way the rumours suggest. There are genuine changes on the horizon, but they’re still years from being finalised, and your […]
Every person communicates in their own way. Sometimes that communication can look like behaviour that worries the people around them. If you support someone who is showing behaviours of concern, it’s natural to feel unsure about what’s happening or the best way to help. The good news is that these behaviours almost always have a […]
If you are navigating the NDIS for the first time, or helping a family member put together their plan, you have probably come across the terms “Behaviour Support” and “Allied Health Services” and have wondered what they actually mean and how they are different from each other. It is a common question, and a good […]
Going out into the community, taking up a class or starting a new hobby is not just something to fill your time. These are meaningful parts of a fulfilling life, one that you want to live. For NDIS participants these sorts of activities can feel confusing, especially when trying to determine which support category covers […]
If you or someone you support has an NDIS plan, chances are you’ve come across the term NDIS self-care in Sydney as a support category with “Community Access and Self-Care”. What does it mean? It’s one of those phrases that sounds pretty straightforward, but it can mean something different for everyone, depending on their goals […]
When safety, wellbeing or quality of life are impacted, Behaviour Support Plans become a key tool amongst your support network. You may have come across the term and thought it to be complicated. However, it is actually a simple process built on a positive belief: that every behaviour has a reason behind it and with […]
If you’re a parent, carer or family member of someone living with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), you already understand that no two people experience the condition in exactly the same way. Every individual has their own needs, routines, challenges and strengths – which means finding the right home and support environment is never a one-size-fits-all decision. […]
If you’ve recently heard the term Prader-Willi Syndrome for the first time, you’re not alone. It’s a condition that many people outside the disability and medical community haven’t come across. But for the families and individuals living with it, it shapes almost every aspect of daily life. So what exactly is it, how is it […]
