Subject: [AAC Forum] Advice needed-Saudi Assistive technology services

Good Afternoon all,

We have a client we are seeing who is heading back to Saudi Arabia , potentially quite soon, we are in the process of assessing him for AAC and Environmental controls, and he will likely need follow up and support. Does anyone know of any AAC/AT services in Saudi? (as much as I would like to visit him there myself!)

Kind regards

Helen
