What is Muscular Dystrophy?
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic conditions that cause progressive muscle weakness. The pace and pattern vary by type. NDIS supports help people maintain function, independence and quality of life as needs change over time.
Common challenges people may experience
- Progressive muscle weakness and fatigue
- Mobility and transfers
- Respiratory and feeding support over time
- Home, vehicle and equipment adaptation
- Planning ahead for changing needs
How the NDIS may support people with Muscular Dystrophy
Where muscular dystrophy causes significant, ongoing impact, the NDIS may fund a tailored mix of supports — including allied health therapies, support workers, support coordination, assistive technology and community participation. Every plan is different and built around the participant's goals. We can help you find providers once your plan is in place.
