ABSTRACT

Background

This study synthesises current literature concerning the barriers to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) faced by people with intellectual disability and/or complex support needs who are involved with the criminal justice system, or at risk of (re)involvement.

Method

Through targeted searches of key databases, 41 publications were identified from the scholarly and grey literature.

Results

Collected literature raises three main barriers to the NDIS. First, there are (mis)identification and diagnostic tensions hindering eligibility. Second, there are problems with the planning process, including the impracticality of “planning for” chaotic situations. Third, there are market and workforce deficits.

Conclusions

Research into the NDIS experiences of justice-involved people with intellectual disability and/or complex support needs is nascent and developing alongside an evolving NDIS landscape. Future research should focus on the effects of forthcoming developments designed to reduce the barriers facing these populations, including the Complex Support Needs Pathway, and workforce capabilities and market strategies.

NDIS 为智障人士和/或涉及刑事司法系统的复杂支持需求的人士提供的障碍：文献现状

摘要

背景

本研究综合了当前有关参与刑事司法系统或有（重新）参与风险的智障人士和/或复杂支持需求的人面临的国家残疾保险计划 (NDIS) 障碍的现有文献。

方法

通过对重点数据库的针对性检索，从学术文献和灰色文献中识别出41篇出版物。

结果

收集的文献对 NDIS 提出了三个主要障碍。首先，存在阻碍资格的（错误）识别和诊断紧张。其次，规划过程存在问题，包括“规划”混乱情况的不切实际。第三，市场和劳动力短缺。

结论

对涉及司法的智障人士和/或复杂的支持需求的 NDIS 体验的研究刚刚起步，并随着 NDIS 格局的不断发展而发展。未来的研究应侧重于旨在减少这些人群面临的障碍的未来发展的影响，包括复杂的支持需求途径、劳动力能力和市场战略。
