How to Get Neurological Disorders NDIS Support?

A neurological disorder is indicative of any ailment that impacts the nervous system, encompassing the brain, spinal cord, and nerves spanning the body. These disorders have the potential to impede a person’s mobility, speech, cognition, and emotions. They arise from diverse triggers like genetics, infections, trauma, or exposure to harmful substances. Instances of neurological disorders comprise conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, migraines, Huntington’s disease, cerebral palsy, and stroke.
