Assistive Technology for Scoliosis (Severe / Neuromuscular)
The assistive technology and equipment the NDIS funds for Scoliosis (Severe / Neuromuscular), 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 Scoliosis (Severe / Neuromuscular) 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.
