Common Gaps Found

4 categories

typically missing or underfunded

Assistive Technology

Many planners overlook assistive technology funding because participants may not know what devices are available or haven't had an AT assessment. Items like communication devices, specialised software, and adaptive equipment can significantly improve independence.

Orientation & Mobility Training

O&M training is essential for participants with vision impairment to develop safe and independent travel skills. This specialised therapy is often missing from plans because planners may not understand its importance.

$7,000/year typical

Assistance with Daily Life

Core support for daily activities is frequently set below actual need, especially for participants whose capacity fluctuates. Plans often don't account for bad days, flare-ups, or the progressive nature of some conditions.

Transport

Transport funding is commonly set at a flat rate that doesn't account for the frequency of medical appointments, therapy sessions, and community activities. Participants in suburban and regional areas face higher transport costs.
