📋 NDIS Application Resources for CADASIL

Why CADASIL-Specific Resources?
CADASIL is rare and often misunderstood. Standard health trackers don’t capture the complexity of living with this condition—the invisible symptoms, the unpredictability, the cognitive changes that are hard to explain. These resources are designed specifically for the CADASIL experience, created with input from the community.
