Hey All-

 

I was just reading the bi-monthly MDA/ALS Newsmagazine.  There was an article on “ ‘All–In-One’ Communication Devices”.

 

In the article, it  mentioned that in addition to the one-time $2000 grant, “the MDA will also provide $500 annually for repairs and modifications…”

 

Is there anyone on the list who has taken advantage of this $500 annual fund?  (When I worked at an ALS clinic, I had asked our local MDA if there was an annual fund for repairs and maintenance of AAC equipment, and I was told that there was only money for repairs of wheelchairs…)  I wonder if this is a new thing…

 

I also wonder is “repairs and modifications” could be used to help pay for mounts, accessories, upgrades, etc…

 

Thanks for your help with this-

 

Margaret
