Abstract
![CDATA[This chapter demonstrates how a person-centred approach helps people with cognitive disability to achieve their life goals. Person-centred approaches, which put the person with a disability at the centre of decision making about their support, are often used in combination with individualised funding approaches. Person-centredness has gained momentum in recent years and several disability care systems around the world, including the United Kingdom, parts of Europe and the USA, have experimented with individualised funding arrangements (Dickinson, Needham & Sullivan, 2015). Most recently, Australia has introduced the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), representing a shift from block funding of disability services to direct payments to the individual. Many people with cognitive disability are likely to require significant support to take advantage of this individualised funding and planning model. We explore the potential contribution that case management, informed by a person-centred approach, can offer people with cognitive disability navigating the emerging disability support landscape in Australia.]]
