I have a client who just refused to apply for a device as she is afraid she will lose it (given hospice) prior to really having the opportunity to learn it or use it…

Hey Group!

Is anyone aware specific examples of people losing access to an SGD because of capped rental?

If so, please share it with me. (off list for personal information is xxxxxx@alsaohio.org)

If not, please keep an eye out and encourage others to do the same.

If we have specific example, it will really improve our chances of fixing this quicker.

Sincerely,
