Nikita believes in the adage "“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” Likewise, Nikita strives to not only undertake the tasks required to implement an NDIS plan, but also increase and strengthen participant's and their support network's understanding, knowledge and confidence to navigate all things NDIS as independently as they wish to. | |
