Assistive Technology for Scleroderma (Systemic Sclerosis)
The assistive technology and equipment the NDIS funds for Scleroderma (Systemic Sclerosis), 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 Scleroderma (Systemic Sclerosis) 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.
