NDIS Speech and Occupational Therapy Requests
Concord School employs Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists to support our students and their programmes at school. With the introduction of the NDIS our therapists are increasingly being asked to provide assessments, reports or letters for students as part of the student’s application, plan review or appeal.
Unfortunately, our therapy staff simply do not have the time to meet such requests and it is out of scope of their current roles. They can only provide a copy of any previous assessment and reports done at school as part of the student’s Program for Students with Disability funding application. Our therapy staff’s priority is to work with the students and teachers within Concord School. Parents and carers are advised to include a review of therapy services into plans in conjunction with existing external supports.
We are however able to provide advice around NDIS plans for families. Please contact Sharon Ouliaris at Concord School should you need support or guidance.
Thank you for your understanding.
