This part of NDIS funding is used to help a Participant with cerebral palsy reach their goals of improved mobility and independence. It will also help improve communication and social skills needed for social participation and employment.

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect normal movement in different parts of the body. This condition can cause problems with posture, manner of walking (gait), muscle tone, and coordination of movement.

Cerebral palsy is a physical disability that affects movement across different parts of the body. 

This is due to damage to the brain, occurring either during pregnancy, at birth or shortly after birth.

Whether you are applying for funding for SIL, or are already accessing SIL services, it is important to understand how SIL is funded in your NDIS plan and what is included and excluded when it comes to SIL supports. 

The NDIS have eligibility criteria that must be met before the funding for any support is included in your NDIS plan. This includes Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Find out how this eligibility works.

A diagnosis of cerebral palsy can now be made for children under 6 months of age.

Getting the right diagnosis early means your child can start with appropriate interventions and supports to reach their best potential.
