📚 NDIS Tutoring Support for Participants with Learning Disabilities

Published on September 24, 2025 | Updated on September 27, 2025

For many NDIS participants living with a learning disability, challenges with reading, writing, numeracy, or comprehension can impact more than just schoolwork — they can affect confidence, independence, and participation in everyday life.

At Openhearted Support, we believe that learning should be accessible, supportive, and empowering. That’s why we offer tutoring and skill development assistance for NDIS participants across Melbourne, helping them achieve their personal, social, and educational goals.

💡 Can the NDIS Fund Tutoring for Learning Disabilities?

Yes — while the NDIS doesn’t directly fund “school-based tutoring,” it does support capacity building services that help participants develop the skills they need for everyday independence and community participation.

This means that tutoring assistance can be covered under NDIS funding when it focuses on:

Literacy and numeracy for daily living (e.g., reading signs, managing money)

Learning support to improve independence and confidence

Building communication and problem-solving skills

Life skills tutoring, such as using technology or writing applications

Academic support when linked to long-term functional goals

At Openhearted Support, we design our tutoring sessions to align with NDIS goals, ensuring participants can access the funding they are entitled to.
