Equipment and aids for daily living
For many disabled people, having the right equipment can be crucial to independent living. It can also make all the difference to those who care for disabled people. There may be items you don't know about that can meet your needs or work better than the ones you are using now. Sources include social services departments, the NHS, education services, Jobcentre Plus and voluntary organisations. Social services and the NHS usually supply equipment on loan, in some areas from a joint equipment service. See 'Helpful organisations' for the full addresses of the organisations mentioned in this section.
