How it Works
When it is identified that a piece of equipment may be useful to increase your child’s participation:
- Appointments will be made to trial various equipment to see which one will be the best fit for your child and family situation.
- Equipment trials may occur at a local equipment supplier, in the clinic, or at your home, depending on what type of equipment is required, and how many pieces of equipment need to be trialled.
- If your child has NDIS funding, there are particular criteria that needs to be met, and specific documents that require completion. The Therapist will cover this with you as required.
Types of assistive equipment
Our Occupational Therapists can trial and prescribe equipment and aids, to support your child’s participation in everyday activities. These include but are not limited to equipment to support:
- Mobility aids
- Eating and drinking e.g. cutlery, bowls and drinking vessels
- Optimal posture to complete activities the child wants to do
i.e. specialised seating and tables/trays
- Community access e.g. specialised pram/stroller; wheelchair
- Hygiene including toileting and bathing
- Seating for optimal posture
- Positioning supports
