Assistive Technology for Developmental Delay (ECEI/under 7)
The assistive technology and equipment the NDIS funds for Developmental Delay (ECEI/under 7), 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 Developmental Delay (ECEI/under 7) 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 Developmental Delay (ECEI/under 7) and assistive technology
Developmental delay refers to a child not reaching age-expected developmental milestones — in areas such as gross motor skills, fine motor skills, communication, language, social-emotional development, adaptive behaviour…
