4. Celebrating Every Step: We celebrate every accomplishment, big or small, to build confidence and encourage a love of learning. Positive reinforcement fosters a growth mindset and motivates children to keep exploring and reaching their full potential.

Oyster Care can assist you with navigating the NDIS process to maximize the benefits for your child's specific needs.

  • Government Assistance Programs:

    Many countries offer government assistance programs that can help cover the cost of some children's services. These programs may have specific eligibility requirements, so it's important to research what's available in your area. You can contact your local government or social services department to inquire about these programs.

  • Fundraising:

    In some cases, families may choose to fundraise to cover the cost of children's services. This can be done through online platforms, community events, or by reaching out to friends and family for donations.

  • Scholarships and Grants:

    There may be scholarships or grants available that can help cover the cost of certain children's services. These will typically be for specific types of services or target specific conditions.
