Autism, ADHD, AuDHD

Looks like ADHD might qualify kidlets for Thriving Kids, depending on impact

So I guess Foundational Supports for adults might take adults with ADHD?

@DogMan79 I don’t have a clue about what those things are.
You get 4/5s of 0 in WA.

Yeah sorry @DogMan79 I also have no clue what those are 😅 Guess you can ask and let us know?

here’s one to add to your awesome thread @Flutterbug9 ☀️ (they forgot to add the locking yourself out as a chunk in the pie) 😂

@Glisten @Jynx

160,000 to 300,000 people are being booted off the NDIS

They'll go onto Thriving Kids (Up to age nine) and Foundational Supports (Above nine) run by the state governments

The two programs run by the states are set to accept more diagnoses than NDIS, including ADHD

So ADHD's will have some support, like "NDIS-Lite"

Oh thanks for the update/info @DogMan79 I should read up on this!!

@DogMan79 I’ve never heard of Thriving Kids or Foundational Supports.

Why does Thriving Kids have an age limit of nine?

Is a government based program @Glisten, age range etc would be set by Health Department

I *think* that 9 is just old enough to be fairly certain about issues. Lots of kidlets got signed up to NDIS very young. When assessments are based a lot around table manners and disturbing creche nap times etc

There was a thread here on SANE soliciting public feedback for establishing Thriving Kids. It got very little response, since people said "I'm not under 9 years old" and then later it was expanded to Foundational Supports, including adults being booted off the NDIS https://saneforums.org/t5/Advocating-for-change/Inquiry-into-the-Thriving-Kids-initiative-and-NDIS-Changes/td-p/1731354
