3. Details of Equipment Loan Request
For voice banking equipment, please specify if you require a loan headset, laptop or both.

For all communication equipment requests, please provide a rationale. This helps us discuss alternative items with you if we do not have something in stock or have other suggestions.

If your client has already been referred to an AAC Specialist centre or 'Hub', the centre should provide the communication equipment and you should discuss the requirement directly with them.

We can provide communication apps for loan including Predictable, Grid for iPad, amongst others. These apps can be installed on a person's own iPad or iPhone, or we have a limited stock of loan iPads.

We also have a limited stock of loan Lightwriters and Alloras, although if there are access issues that require this type of equipment - you should consider a referral to a specialist AAC centre or 'hub'.

If you have any questions, please get in touch at communicationaids@mndassociation.org

Please note: The provision of suction units is a statutory requirement. While we are continuing to loan suction units, we are now requesting that statutory services contribute £50 towards the transport, maintenance and cleaning costs of each unit requested. Please tell us the name of the person we need to invoice for the £50 payment or send us a purchase order. This request should not delay delivery. We will continue to review the provision of suction units, along with other items that are part of our current core loan items.
