I am getting ready to end my 3rd NDIS plan and work on my 4th plan. This year will be different for me and many others because of COVID and the precautions needed to be taken to stay safe.

Every year they say we have to use all the money allocated or you will get less next round. This year though this didn’t happen so hopefully they will understand.

My plan expires at the end of October and I still haven’t got a meeting time. I know I didn’t use all my money so I am using it up by having more respite and outings. There are some things though I couldn’t do which i still want to do next year

Another thing that is hard with COVID is I may not be able to attend the next CHARGE syndrome confrence in the US because international borders may be still closed and the conference may be canceled to make sure no one gets sick. So I want a holiday but am unsure where I can go.

For my next plan i also want to continue with everything I am doing now and do the things I couldn’t do this year.

One of those things was an AUSLAN course so I can communicate better with signing people and the other was a behavioural management plan to help people who support me know how to best help when I get anxiety and OCD.

I hope it will all go well and I won’t have to wait to long for my new plan
