Hello,
For the moment i'm working as a researcher for a flemisch government
organisation. One of the fields i'm interested in, is the 'special
equipment for people with a disability'. For the moment i'm looking for
information about the way the special equipment services is organised
in other countries. More in particulary i'm interested in the financing
of the system. Here in Belgium people with disabilities can get special
equipment from a government organisation in the way they can chose out
af a limited list. Some people say that the system should be changed.
They are advocates of giving a budget to people with disability with
wich they can go to the marked and buy their special equipment on their
own (individualised budget).
My question to you is if it is possible to describe me the system in
your country? How get people with disabilities their special equipment.
Is it funded by the goverment and can the take the equipment they want
or have are the obliged to chose form a list.
Thanking you in advance and please contact me of the list
