A school counselor
An NDIA planner or Local Area Coordinator
A real estate agent
A private insurer
The planning meeting is convened by an NDIA planner or Local Area Coordinator who works with participants to develop their plan. Other professionals do not facilitate the NDIS planning meeting.
What is the first step in accessing NDIS supports for adults with ASD?
Attend a planning meeting
Submit an access request to the NDIA

Submit service invoices
The first step is submitting an access request to the NDIA to determine eligibility. Planning meetings and reviews occur after access is granted.
Which funding category includes support for speech therapy to improve communication?
Capital Supports
Capacity Building Supports
Community Supports
Core Supports
Speech therapy is classified under Capacity Building Supports because it builds communication skills. Core Supports focus on daily care, and Capital Supports fund big equipment or modifications.
A key strategy to achieve social goals for adults with ASD is:
Providing real estate support
Offering financial counseling
Prescribing pharmacotherapy
Using social stories to outline scenarios
Social stories are evidence-based tools that help adults with ASD understand and navigate social situations. The other options are not standard social goal strategies.

Personal fitness trainer

Augmentative and alternative communication devices are assistive technologies funded by NDIS to support communication. Other options are unrelated to communication technology.

Capital Supports cover equipment and home modifications. Core and Capacity Building funds are used for everyday support and skill development, not structural changes.
An NDIS plan review is scheduled how often by default?
Monthly
Only at participant request
Every five years
Annually
Plans are typically reviewed once every 12 months unless a participant requests an earlier review. Monthly or five-year cycles are not standard.
Which principle reflects the person-centred approach in NDIS planning?
Participant choice and control
Provider profit maximisation
Standardised care only
Government directives without input
Person-centred planning prioritises the participant's choices, goals, and control over supports. The other options contradict that principle.

Group social skill training is funded under Social and Community Participation within Capacity Building. Other sub-categories address different support types.

New plan application
Plan variation request
Annual audit
Initial access request
A plan variation is the formal process to change supports or funding amounts within an existing plan. Access requests and new applications are for new participants.
A principle of person-centred ASD support that ensures planning reflects individual goals is known as:
Choice and control
Asset maximisation
Clinical standardisation
Provider-led care
Choice and control is at the heart of person-centred planning, ensuring the participant directs their supports. The other options do not align with person-centred principles.
Which document best evidences progress towards communication goals for an NDIS plan review?
Participant anecdotal notes only
Insurance premium statements
Generic attendance list
Detailed therapy progress reports with objective assessments
Objective therapy reports demonstrate measurable progress toward goals. Anecdotes or attendance records alone do not provide sufficient evidence of outcomes.
When reallocating funds within an active NDIS plan without changing the overall budget, which process is applied?
Post-review amendment
Initial access
Plan variation
Plan cancellation
A plan variation allows adjustments in funding categories or supports within the same budget term. Cancellation and initial access are unrelated processes.
For major home modifications funding requests, the NDIA requires which supporting documents?
Only the participant's testimony
Generic equipment catalogue
A school report
Occupational therapist assessment and multiple builder quotes
NDIA requires a detailed OT assessment and at least two builder quotes to justify modification costs. Participant testimony alone is insufficient evidence.
To evaluate social participation improvements, which measure is most appropriate?
Financial expenditure log
Standardized social responsiveness scale administered pre- and post-plan
Daily mood journal only
Insurance premium changes
A standardized social responsiveness scale provides validated, objective data on social skills before and after interventions. The other measures do not reliably assess social participation.
