@Jean_Scope has recently answered a similar question - do you think the advice given would work for you? I hope this helps
Hi @jake
I totally agree with want has already been said about contacting the community OT for an assessment.
Depending on what the plans are for your treatment and the general prognosis, you may find that they are able to prioritise your case to give you support quicker.
However if the timeframe they can work to isn't compatible with your needs you could also try funding the equipment/adaptations with a charitable grant, Macmillan can advise further:
