This organization can also help with special equipment which may be difficut to obtain in the Northern Rivers area. Patients need to be assessed by an occupational therapist before the equipment such as 'Lightwriters' for people who can not speak, is sent from Sydney. Patients are only required to pay for return freight when the items are no longer needed.
