In Oxfordshire we have a small budget allocated for the
purchase of communication aids for adults – I believe the funding comes
from the Social Services community equipment budget. Some areas have
communication aids budgets that are NHS funded.
We also approach charities, employers and benevolent funds.
Hope that helps

Dear All
I am currently helping a Speech Therapist
to put a case to the commissioner to fund communication aids for adults in our
district who require this type of equipment. However, before we go
banging our commissioner’s door, I wanted to check how other SLT
departments and professional colleagues provide this type of equipment to
adults in their area.
Kind regards

Hi All
For
those who remember the Forget-Me-Not clock from the ASTRID project, I have
found this interesting digital alternative,
It’s
available at less than half this price from CPC (no detailed product info on
site though)
Cheers
Jeremy
