How NDIS Participants Can Benefit from the Self-Paced PEERS® Course

If you or someone you care for is an NDIS participant and looking to improve social skills, confidence, and overall communication, the Self-Paced PEERS® Course might be the perfect solution. Designed for individuals with autism, ADHD, and other social challenges, this course offers practical tools that foster meaningful relationships and greater independence.

Here’s how NDIS participants can benefit from our course, and how you can use your plan to get it funded.

1. Social Skills that Build Confidence

For NDIS participants, developing social skills is often a key goal in their plans. The PEERS® program helps individuals:

  • Learn how to start and maintain conversations.

  • Build friendships through common interests.

  • Improve self-awareness and social understanding. These skills not only build confidence but also encourage greater participation in community and social activities, which is often a focus in NDIS plans.

2. Improved Independence

The Self-Paced PEERS® Course doesn’t just teach social skills—it helps participants develop the tools they need to navigate social interactions independently. Whether it's learning how to join conversations or understanding how to handle social rejection, these skills empower individuals to build lasting relationships and feel more confident in social settings.

3. Flexible Learning for Long-Term Success

Our self-paced format is ideal for NDIS participants who may need extra time to process and practice new skills. You’ll have 4-MONTH access to the course, allowing you to review lessons as needed and progress at your own pace. This flexibility is invaluable for NDIS participants who may prefer individualised learning timelines.


How to Get the Course Funded Through Your NDIS Plan

The great news is that many NDIS plans can cover the cost of the Self-Paced PEERS® Course under the right support categories. Here’s a simple guide to help you navigate the process:

  1. Check Your NDIS Plan: Review your plan to see if it includes funding for social skills training under "Capacity Building" or "Core". Also you may be able to fund it from your Consumables budget.

  2. Automatic Receipt: After you enroll and make the payment, you’ll automatically receive a receipt.

  3. Request an Invoice: If you need a detailed invoice for NDIS purposes, just let us know, and we’ll email it to you right away.
