NDIS and Arts Therapy
If you have funding in your plan for improved daily living, you may choose to use that funding or part of that funding for arts and somatic therapy.
If you would like assistance understanding your NDIS plan or how you can access arts and somatic therapy with your funding, please get in touch. I can also offer a letter of support to request creative arts and somatic therapy funding through your NDIS plan review and are comfortable providing evidence of the benefits to meet NDIS requirements.
Under the NDIS, creative arts therapy is provided as an allied health service.
Crayons and Stuff is a registered NDIS Provider. We are committed to upholding quality standards and being accountable to NDIS participants for how we will work with you.
​​
I have a Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice and integrate this with advanced training in somatic approaches. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner through Somatic Experiencing International (SEI), and a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Association of Australia (PACFA). Through this, my work is represented by the Allied Health Professional Association.
​
In addition to NDIS Therapeutic Supports, I can also offer services as a non-registered provider of early intervention supports for early childhood and some specialised programs of support.
​
Crayons and Stuff charges for creative arts and somatic therapy are in line with the NDIS Price Guide, with discounts negotiated for travel or short-term budget limitations.

Alisoun Neville and Carla van Laar published this article in the Journal of Creative Arts Therapies (JOCAT) in December 2020, after long discussions about the importance of our practice values working in complex systems.
