Martial arts classes, dancing and drumming lessons are part of the package Karim Bouchafaa has negotiated under a NSW pilot disability program, which demonstrates the potential for the coming national insurance scheme ... a good example of what could be achieved under a National Disability Insurance Scheme is highlighted in this Sue Dunlevy's story in The Australian today.

And the Sydney Morning Herald focussed on the funding arrangements: Disability scheme in funding deadlock.
