Thank you so much for completing it’s really appreciated! If you know anyone else who this may be suitable for please point them in this direction

do you need to be the parent of a disabled child to complete the form?
I am a disabled adult and the availability or lack of appropriate equipment can have a huge impact on a disabled person and their families, disability equipment is so expensive and a good majority is not funded by the NHS leading to people having to either fundraise themselves or approach charities for support -
Hi Garza, apologies for the late reply I did not see your comment! The questions are aimed at parents with most of them asking about 'your child' but please feel free to have a look and answer them relating to yourself if you can! You have made a very good point and would be a really good area to look into further with research. Thank you for raising this!

Thank you to anyone who has done this already, I still need a few more responses so if anyone else can help it would be really appreciated!
