Debunking the Myth of One-on-One Plan Management Support: Embracing a Multidisciplinary Approach with Forward Planning Plus
Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be complex, and effective plan management is crucial for maximising its benefits. A common misconception is that one-on-one plan management is the optimal approach. However, embracing a multidisciplinary model, as practised by Forward Planning Plus, can offer more comprehensive and continuous support.
The Limitations of One-on-One Plan Management
While individualised attention in plan management may seem advantageous, it has inherent limitations:
Limited Expertise: A single plan manager may not possess the diverse skill set required to address all aspects of a participant's needs.
Potential Service Disruptions: If the sole plan manager is unavailable due to illness or leave, participants might experience interruptions in support.
Narrow Perspectives: Relying on one individual can limit the range of solutions and strategies offered, potentially hindering the achievement of goals.
Advantages of a Multidisciplinary Approach with Forward Planning Plus
Forward Planning Plus adopts a collaborative model, ensuring participants receive well-rounded support:
