The project intends to explore the challenges that Aboriginal families who have children with disabilities experience when living in remote communities. Living in a community with family supports is important for the wellbeing, health and spirituality of Aboriginal people in the Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) lands. However, the NPY Women’s Council are concerned that this is a significant challenge for families and carers of children with disabilities. Project results will be used to propose models for supporting children with disabilities and their families and caregivers to live good lives in their communities. The outcomes are expected to inform service redesign to allow Aboriginal people to fully benefit from the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

该项目旨在探讨有残疾儿童的土著家庭在偏远社区生活时所面临的挑战。生活在一个有家庭支持的社区，对Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjara Yankunytjatjara（NPY）土地上的土著人民的福祉、健康和精神生活很重要。然而，西北太平洋残疾人协会妇女理事会感到关切的是，这对残疾儿童的家庭和照料者来说是一个重大挑战。项目成果将用于提出支持残疾儿童及其家人和照顾者在社区过上美好生活的模式。预计这些结果将为服务的重新设计提供信息，使土著人民能够充分受益于国家残疾保险计划。
