Epilepsy Care
Home > Services
Support Nest has members with a wide range of disabilities and conditions, including arthritis care, Huntington’s disease, and many others, and we are frequently asked how the NDIS can specifically assist them.
Today, we decided to share how the NDIS can assist members with epilepsy (as well as parents and carers of children with epilepsy) in order to better comprehend the Epilepsy Care Plan for people living with epilepsy.
Is epilepsy included on the NDIS?
If you or your child has been diagnosed with epilepsy, you may be eligible for assistance and support services under the NDIS, despite the fact that some people with epilepsy do not view themselves as having a disability. This will depend on your unique circumstances and the functional impact that this has on your life.
You must provide evidence of the impact your epilepsy has on your daily life when applying for the NDIS. You are only eligible for the NDIS if you can prove that epilepsy has had a significant impact on your life.
If your NDIS application is approved, a variety of services, including a Specialist For Epilepsy, can help you manage your epilepsy.
Some examples are:
- Medication management
- Domestic assistance, including domestic/housework duties
- Transportation and access to support groups and other community organisations
- Supports that will help you find and maintain employment
- Aids and equipment to facilitate daily living
Triggers and Symptoms Of Epilepsy.
Seizures are the most common symptom of epilepsy. If you observe someone having a seizure, please refer to seizure first aid.
There are numerous varieties of Triggers For Epilepsy. The most common type (generalised tonic-clonic seizures) is characterised by unconsciousness and jerking or unusual movements of the body.
Absence seizures can be difficult to identify because the individual remains conscious but appears “blank” for a few seconds.Absence seizures typically begin in childhood and can be confused with daydreaming.
To participate in the NDIS, you must provide proof of a mental health condition, but a specific diagnosis is not required. Support from the NDIS is contingent on how the condition affects you
your daily activities, rather than the diagnosis itself; our Mental Illness Specialists can assist you with this.t is covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and you may be eligible for funding to use our support services.
