Comprehensive and integrated support pathway for children with disabilities and their families, being implemented in phases.

Who it may serve
Relevance & eligibility context
Children with disabilities and their families reached through the programme’s phased implementation and assessment arrangements.
Important: The responsible Ministry determines programme assessment, enrolment and benefit rules; VORA must not infer eligibility from disability status alone.
How to approach the route
A programme should show you the next steps, not leave you with only a name.
Confirm whether NCDAP implementation is active in the relevant area and identify the authorised entry point.
Use the official screening / assessment and referral pathway for the child.
Follow rehabilitation, assistive technology, health, education or social-protection referrals as appropriate.
Keep assessment, enrolment, service delivery and any income support as separate stages.
Before you act
What still needs checking
NCDAP is being implemented in phases. VORA should not imply that every component is already available in every district.
Coverage / implementation: Phased implementation under MGLSD with national, regional and district-level disability expertise.
Responsible route
Where to start
Use the official MGLSD NCDAP route as implementation and registration arrangements are published; VORA can support navigation and referral without enrolling a child itself.
Government system / workflow: MGLSD NCDAP official systems
VORA's role
Explain the route. Connect the person. Record the follow-up.
VORA can identify support needs, route families and follow referrals; MGLSD and authorised programme systems remain the authority for assessment, enrolment, payments and programme records.
