Writing clear goals

NDIS goals are similar to setting targets or objectives for yourself or your loved one. They are destinations you want to reach with the support of NDIS. These goals are crucial because they keep you motivated and focused on what is most important for your overall well-being. They help you track your progress, celebrate your achievements, and customise your NDIS plan to your specific needs and aspirations. 

Parent goals

Writing goals for your child's NDIS plan is like preparing a roadmap for their life, where you personalise their support and measure their progress. You start by dreaming big, breaking those dreams into achievable steps, and being as clear as possible. You can adjust the plan as new opportunities or challenges arise. These goals provide the best possible support for your child and help them achieve their dreams. 

Ready to start dreaming? I’ve put together a PDF guidebook of sorts to help you plan out and write your child’s goals. It’s about a billion times easier to follow than Ikea assembly instructions and way more satisfying to complete. Give it a go here:

Everyday goals

Setting everyday life goals for your NDIS plan is like tailoring your routine to your preferences and needs. These goals are your way of saying, "This is how I want to live my everyday life." You start by imagining your ideal day, breaking it down into achievable steps, and being as specific as possible. You can adjust the plan as life changes. These goals ensure that your daily routine is full of activities you enjoy, small achievements, and a rhythm that resonates with your unique life tune.

Here’s a nifty PDF guide that simplifies the goals-setting experience for those with an NDIS plan. This can be done with the help of a parent, support worker, therapist, or friend.

Goals for work

Setting work goals for your NDIS plan is like building your dream job, where you customise your career path to match your interests. You start by picturing your ideal job, breaking it into smaller steps, and being as clear as possible. You can change the plan as your career journey evolves. These goals ensure that your work life is filled with projects you enjoy, achievements you're proud of, and a career that fits your passions and ambitions perfectly.

You know what I’m going to say, don’t you? I’ve got a PDF guide for that! This one is dedicated to simplifying writing your work goals and can, of course, be done with the help of a parent, support worker, therapist, or friend.

Living goals

Setting living goals in your NDIS plan is like designing your ideal everyday life. It's about tailoring your daily routine to your interests and ensuring your days are filled with enjoyable activities. These goals help you create a daily life that's fulfilling and unique to you. You start by picturing your perfect day, breaking it into achievable steps, and being as straightforward as possible. You can adapt your goals as new opportunities arise. These goals ensure that your daily journey is fulfilling and reflects your desires and happiness.

Yep, you guessed it! Here’s the link for my favourite lifestyle magazine. Ha! I’m just pulling your leg. It’s actually the link for a super helpful (if I do say so myself) PDF guide that makes writing living goals a breeze. You can also work on this with the help of a parent, support worker, therapist, or friend. 

In a nutshell, NDIS goals are like setting objectives for your journey to a better life. They help you track your progress, celebrate your achievements, and make sure you get the support you need to reach your desired destinations.
