About Kudos
Kudos is a not-for-profit, employee-controlled disability services mutual and NDIS provider. We work in Adelaide and regional South Australia. We’re the NDIS Early Childhood Partner in South Australia for children 0-8 years of age, and provide hands-on therapy, behaviour support and support coordination services tailored to the unique needs of our clients aged 9+.
Our friendly and passionate team is made up of highly experienced practitioners in speech pathology, occupational therapy, psychology, positive behaviour support, physiotherapy, social work, developmental education and specialist support coordination.
Our practitioners are given the time and support they need to provide their clients with the best possible service and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our core values
Knowledge
We are a highly skilled and experienced multidisciplinary team of child and youth therapists, sharing best practice techniques with our community of children and young people and their families or caregivers to achieve results together.
Camaraderie
We are a group of like-minded and purposeful people with a shared passion for improving the lives of children and young people.
Enterprising
We are bold, innovative and brave, driven to do things differently through our Australian first mutual model of integrated service delivery.
Heart
We will inspire and care for each other, take pride in our achievements through mutual celebration and ensure everyone in our community – therapists, children and families – are valued and appreciated.
Kudos Early Childhood (EC)
Kudos EC are the NDIS partner in South Australia for early intervention support, assisting families to understand the potential role of the NDIS and to guide them to other appropriate supports. We also offer independent advice on providers of support most suited to their needs.
Our Early Childhood team comprises qualified Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Developmental Educators and Social Workers who believe in making a genuine and positive impact in the lives of children in the community. Their work involves a mixture of both face-to-face assessments of children and office-based administrative tasks.
These roles suit someone who wants to put their previous therapy experience to use in a different way.
Our Early Childhood team:
- assist children, families, carers and community with information to further understand what the NDIS is and how it applies to understanding their child’s developmental needs and services available to them
- assess and accurately report the functional impact of a child’s developmental delay to assist in the preparation of applications for access to the NDIS scheme with regards to early intervention
- assess and prioritise needs to clearly and concisely summarise relevant information to make recommendations to support NDIS plan approval
- conduct first plan and review planning conversations with clients – over the phone and in person
- liaise and work cooperatively with key stakeholders to successfully implement NDIS plans
- demonstrate a consistent drive to making a positive difference empowering the lives of children, their families, carers and the wider community at large.
