In some cases, it is important for your child to have reports that demonstrate the progress they have achieved or the plans you may have for their upcoming therapy and care. NAPA Centre has a range of reports that are able to be requested to assist you with this need.
NDIS Reports
NAPA Centre NDIS reports have been created in way to ensure it provides all the required information that your NDIS planner will be looking for. Whether you are doing your child’s first plan, annual planning, plan review or plan appeal, we work with you to ensure that the report covers the history of your child, their progress and your future goals for them.
Please consider carefully the life goals you are putting forward as part of your child’s plan, as they will be required in the report request. Our best results with NDIS reports is where you fully brief us on what you are hoping to achieve for your child so we can place as much details as possible in the reports.
Please note, these reports are complex and can take some time to prepare. Be aware of your child’s plan dates, and provide us as much notice as possible. NAPA cannot guarantee we can meet a NDIS meeting date if we are not given adequate time to prepare a report.

Intensive Summary Report
During your intensive, our therapists dedicate ALL of their time to the treatment of your child. If you require a report at the conclusion of the intensive, then this is available upon request. This report will summarise the activities undertaken by your child during the intensive and the progress that was made against their goals.
