Advocacy for AAC & resources
As an NDIS participant’s abilities and circumstances change over time, so does the potential need for different equipment and assistive technology to best support the participant.

Advocacy may include:
Discussion with the NDIS team regarding the rationale and necessity of a device or resource
Assessment and trial of multiple assistive technologies or resources
Consideration of the functional impact and clinical literature to inform the decision for advocacy
Letter of support detailing the aforementioned information
