Problem getting Equipment

Hi scottishborn73. I know what you mean about OT were on our 3rd one the other 2 we had were brilliant couldnt fault them at all the 3rd one we've only seen her once. When I needed my sons chair reassessing I just kept ringing them up and telling them this was urgent. An OT assistant came out and adjusted sons chair in the end, she couldnt see what all the fuss was about!!!! Have you tried rininging Social Services, demand that you need this equipment for your child I would just keep pestering them. They've always moaned about lack of staff so now there doing it even more cos of the cut backs I wouldnt take any notice of them HOUND THEM if possible for you. Have you tried getting in touch with your local council/MP for your area back up always seems to work and who is on the understanding of the disability needs. If you get the assessment for your child let me know if you have to go for a grant for this equipment as I know a few charities. good luck xxx
