Communication Device Assessment
The process of obtaining a communication device can be overwhelming. At Speak With Us we try to make this process as fun and supportive as possible. To find out more about AAC click – Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to communication, thus it is best to always trial at least 2 different communication devices. Our clinician will support you in obtaining the best communication device that supports your needs and supports your style of communication.
Our process:
- Completion of a formal communication assessment (1 hour in-clinic or in the community)
- Completion of a formal communication report (3 hours)
- Completion of applications to obtain trial communication devices (30 minutes)
- Trial of device A* (2 hours)
- Trial of device B* (2 hours)
- Discussion of trial outcomes (30 minutes) (can be in person, online or by telephone)
- Device NDIS application report 6 hours.
- Device set up (optional)
- Device mentoring (optional)
Cost: approximate total communication device process hours: 16 hours, at the rate of $193.99 per hour.
*device trials may be delayed secondary to device availability.
**hours may change due to client complexity. Please note these hours do not include travel.
