The MDA will pay for one AAC equipment repair, for up to $500 per year.  (I imagine you would have to try and go through insurance first?)

 

(I just had a friend who got his LightWriter repaired at Tobii.  The P.O. was sent to the Bay Area MDA.)  I don’t think it took longer than 3 weeks to get it fixed.

Subject: loaner equipment

 

Aside from the MDA loaner closet (here in California) does anyone have a suggestion for getting a loaner Lightwriter for a patient who has to send in her device for repair??

 

Her device is likely to be gone for about 2-3 months and I’m having trouble finding her a loaner type and talk device to use in the mean time.

 

She lives in Merced California. Any help welcome thanks!
