- [Walkers for the Elderly – What does this mean?](https://national360.com.au/walkers-for-the-elderly-what-does-this-mean/): Walkers for the Elderly – What does this mean? Walkers are a form of Assistive Technology (AT) that are used to provide users additional support to maintain balance and stability while walking. You will likely be familiar with what these look like as they are a very common form of Assistive Technology equipment. If you’re a Geelong AFL supporter, you may have seen the team sporting a fantastic range of walkers for the elderly for Mad Monday after winning the 2022 AFL Premiership, (for image and article, click here). But enough about AFL, let’s dive into walkers, how they are used, and why they are prescribed to participants and clients. We spoke with Lynda, our Newcastle NSW based Physiotherapist and Team Leader for her insights on walkers for the elderly, and answers to some frequently asked questions: Many people know of the term ‘walker’ but what other names are they known by? Rollators, four-wheeled walkers, and frames are other names walkers can be known by. What is the difference between using a walking stick and a walker? A walker provides a greater level of support for a person. The main use for a walking stick is to provide a small amount of support or assist with small balance corrections, compared to a walker that can be used to lean on and support the person, they have a large base of support which increases this support and stability. What types of walkers are available, and do they all assist with the same function? Walkers can have seats to rest on, baskets or trays to carry items, and they can have gutters instead of handles so the person can lean through their forearms for even greater support and balance. All walkers assist with the same function but vary in the level of support they can provide to the person. Is it hard for a therapist to prescribe a walker? The prescription of a walker is something that a therapist can do on a daily basis. I have worked with people that require walkers for decades and can assess the need for a walker by looking at how a person walks and by determining their risk of falling through various physical or functional assessments. What is involved when prescribing walkers for the elderly? The type of walker needs to be considered as well as what the walker will be used for and where the walker will be used. Many people have a walker in the house and then a second in their car or outside for when they are out in the community. Is it just elderly clients that can benefit from assistance from a walker? Not at all. There can be a stigma with walkers and even walking sticks that are only for older clients. However, walkers can be beneficial for anyone at any age to assist with their walking, to assist in preventing falling, and to allow the person to be more independent in their home or out in the community. What types of therapists can prescribe a walker? A physiotherapist will typically prescribe walkers as we tend to focus on the quality of mobility, as well as assess the potential risk of falls, muscle strength, and balance. Can you receive financial assistance to buy a walker? Yes, it is an assistive technology, classified under personal mobility equipment, and may be covered by NDIS funding, a Short-term Restorative Care package, or Home Care Packages. For more details on Physiotherapists and how they prescribe AT equipment, including walkers for the elderly, watch the video below: Did you know that when it comes to Assistive Technology, walkers for the elderly are only just one category of equipment that can be prescribed? Assistive Technology can come in all different forms to assist our clients to perform functions that they cannot do. Assistive Technology can assist clients in their daily living, mobility, seating & positioning, speech communication, learning & cognition, vision, hearing, recreation, and a whole lot more.

- [NDIS Behaviour Support Funding Explained](https://national360.com.au/ndis-behaviour-support-funding-explained/): NDIS Behaviour Support Funding Explained What NDIS Behaviour Support Funding do you need to access Behaviour Support Services? Behaviour support services are funded under the NDIS Capacity Building support category of ‘Improved Relationships’. This support category is for the provision of specialised assessment where a participant may have complex or unclear needs, requiring long term or intensive supports to address behaviours of concern. Only NDIS Behaviour Support services can access this funding. There are two line items within the ‘Improved Relationships’ support category: Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support Behaviour Management Plan Including Training in Behaviour Management Strategies Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support focuses on providing highly specialised intensive support interventions to address significantly harmful or persistent behaviours of concern. It also includes the development of behaviour support plans that temporarily use restrictive practices, with the intention to minimize use of these practices. Behaviour Management Plan Including Training focuses on training for carers and others in behaviour management strategies required due to the participant’s disability. Typically, an NDIS Participant will be funded for both line items if they require ongoing Behaviour Support services. What if an NDIS Participant requires Behaviour Support but does not have Improved Relationships funded in their NDIS plan? Behaviour Support services can only be delivered if the NDIS plan contains Improved Relationships funding. However, if the NDIS participant either engages in behaviours of concern or restrictive practices have been identified, and they do not have Improved Relationships funding, an assessment can be completed with a member of the PBS team. This assessment, known as Assessment and Recommendations (or A&R), advocates for the NDIS Participant to receive Improved Relationships NDIS Behaviour Support Funding in their next NDIS plan. The therapist may conduct multiple assessments, interviews, data analysis and observations to ensure adequate evidence is provided to the NDIS to demonstrate why PBS services are required and make recommendations for the Participant to be funded for ongoing Behaviour Support intervention. The A&R can be conducted utilising only 15 hours of funding available from the NDIS Improvement Daily Living support category. This service is specifically for those who have either never received Behaviour Support services before and/or do not have NDIS Behaviour Support Funding in their NDIS plan under the Improved Relationships funding line. Positive Behaviour Support Plans are person-centred and tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the individual. They are a proactive and evidence-based approach to addressing challenging behaviours while promoting the individual’s overall well-being and independence. PBSPs are often used in various settings, including schools, residential facilities, and community-based services, to support individuals with a wide range of behavioural challenges. Contact National 360 National 360 Behaviour Support Services provides a high-quality evidence-based and person-centred approach to people who have approved behaviour support funding or do not have NDIS Behaviour Support Funding in their NDIS plans. National 360 offers Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support across Greater Melbourne, Southeast Queensland, Cairns, Sydney, Newcastle and Adelaide.
