NDIS: Rhetoric versus Reality?

该项目旨在探讨澳大利亚智障者的生活现状，以及引入国家残疾人保险计划后个人化供资的影响。这项研究将审查在这个残疾改革的时代，智力残疾者的需求如何得到满足，以及他们在多大程度上参与有关其生活的决策。这项研究将采用混合方法设计进行三年。它将专门研究自我导向的个性化资助及其对个人福祉，自尊和声音，选择和控制的影响之间的关系。智障人士将在研究中担任共同研究员。

This project aims to explore the realities of living with intellectual disability in Australia, and the impact of individualised funding arising from the introduction of the NDIS. The study will examine, within this era of disability reform, how people with intellectual disability are having their needs met, and the extent to which they are involved in decision-making about their lives. The study will be conducted over three years using a mixed method design. It will specifically examine the relationship between self-directed individualised funding and its effect on personal well-being, self-esteem and voice, choice and control. People with intellectual disability will act as co-researchers within the study.
