NDIS: Rhetoric versus Reality?

该项目旨在探索澳大利亚智障人士的生活现状，以及引入NDIS后产生的个性化资助的影响。在这个残疾改革的时代，这项研究将调查智障人士的需求是如何得到满足的，以及他们在多大程度上参与了有关自己生活的决策。该研究将采用混合方法设计，为期三年。它将具体研究自我导向的个体化供资与其对个人福祉、自尊和发言权、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人员。

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.
