Angelman syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a genetic mutation. It is characterized by developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, speech impairments, seizures, and unique behavioural characteristics such as frequent laughter and a happy demeanor.

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) provides support and services to individuals with disabilities, including those with Angelman syndrome. In Melbourne and Hobart, our team of NDIS Support Coordinators and Plan Managers collaborate with service providers to ensure participants with Angelman syndrome receive comprehensive support, access to community events, and opportunities for social engagement within their capabilities.

Our support coordinators can help participants access a range of interventions and supports. This includes therapies such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy to address developmental delays and improve functional abilities. We can also assist in connecting you with local community groups and organizations that offer group events, community access, and social activities that are suitable for you. This can involve identifying social events, recreational programs, and support groups that provide opportunities for interaction and participation.

Our Plan Managers can assist by handling the financial aspects of the NDIS plan, managing invoices, processing payments, and maintaining records. We assist in budgeting for specific supports, therapies, and services needed by you, ensuring funding is allocated appropriately for the required services. We also engage with service providers, facilitating connections with specialists experienced in working with Angelman syndrome.
