One LEA actually suggested that a scooter might be useful equipment for a student, which suggests attitudes to the provision of them vary from one LEA to another!
The student in question did not want it, and the terrain was not really suitable anyway.

Hello,
I know there has been discussion in the past as to whether scooters and electric wheelchairs can be funded through the DSA. If anybody has been successful, have you justified it out of the travel allowance so as not to use up all the equipment allowance? The equipment is specifically for transport around campus.
Thanks
