SPRC and Griffith University evaluated the Self Directed Support Pilot. This pilot included case management, community engagement and individual support funds to enhance independence, capacity and resilience of children and young adults with a disability, as well as their families and carers. Data collection included surveys, interviews, administrative data from participants and stakeholders to evaluate the critical success factors and outcomes for participants in the Self Directed Support Pilot. The evaluation informed improvements to the program and implications for NDIS through a baseline analysis developing quantitative and qualitative instruments, a longitudinal analysis, and final analysis.
