Assistive Technology for Batten Disease (NCL)
The assistive technology and equipment the NDIS funds for Batten Disease (NCL), how the AT process works, and how to get it into your plan.
Assistive technology (AT) — from simple aids to powered equipment — helps many people with Batten Disease (NCL) do things more safely and independently. This guide explains the AT that can help, how the NDIS funds it, and how to get it into your plan.
Understanding Batten Disease (NCL) and assistive technology
Batten disease is the common name for a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders known collectively as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). They are characterised by the accumulation of lipopigments (ceroid and…
