NeuroHERO Parent Advocacy Toolkit

Most NDIS information explains what something is.

The NeuroHERO Parent Advocacy Toolkit is different.

It combines lived experience with practical, process-oriented guidance that helps participants, families and advocates understand:

  • how to prepare
  • what information to record
  • who contributes to evidence
  • how allied health professionals work together
  • what happens next

Our goal is to create a practical operating manual that helps families confidently navigate the NDIS and everyday neurodivergent support.

NDIS Plan Review Preparation Worksheet

Prepare With Confidence

A printable worksheet to help organise NDIS goals, functional impacts, evidence, current supports and reasonable and necessary support needs before a planning or review conversation.

“I keep these printed and close by - if an unexpected NDIA call comes through, I’m not trying to remember everything under pressure.”

Print them. Keep a copy at home, at work, or in the car, so you can pause, prepare, record key information and ask the questions that matter.
