Course Overview

Aligned with NDIS high-intensity support standards, this training equips staff with the skills to support participants through fluctuating “On/Off” periods, ensuring that daily assistance promotes independence while minimizing the risk of falls and secondary complications.

What You’ll Learn

Identify the “Cardinal Signs” of Parkinson’s: tremors, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, and postural instability.

Implement practical strategies for mobility and fall prevention, including the use of rhythmic cuing and environmental clearing.
Recognize and support non-motor symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and cognitive changes.
Execute safe swallowing (dysphagia) and mealtime support strategies in collaboration with Speech Pathology guidelines.
Utilize assistive technology and NDIS resources to maintain the participant’s functional capacity and social engagement.
Maintain detailed documentation of motor function, medication efficacy, and any “freezing” episodes for clinical and NDIS review.
