- $30,000 a year for disabled children
- $130 mln boost to early intervention for autism
- Early-learning programs
Parents, who are looking after disabled children, have recieved access $30,000 a year in the May Budget to help with early intervention and support. The $130 million boost will also include new support for autism and deliver on an election pledge to offer a $6000-a-year Better Start for Children with Disability. The Better Start payment will help eligible children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, hearing and vision loss, fragile X syndrome, deafness and blindness. The additional funding will support 3 500 children in accessing early-learning programs, including PlayConnect playgroups for children with autism disorders.
Personal reflection:
It is so hard to bring up disabled children, because it takes a lot of time and money. So, in my opinion, the government should pay attention and support all families, where there is a child with disability, as much as possible.
