How to request a device
A short public path — start at the school, keep papers you already have, and finish with a fit that the child can use in class.
Talk to the school
Tell the teacher or head what blocks reading, hearing, moving or joining — everyday examples help more than labels.
Complete the form
Use the sample request forms under Downloads & Forms. Incomplete files are OK at first; the desk will list what is missing.
Assessment note
Where a short assessment is needed, the school or district desk guides the next appointment — details confirmed by the Directorate.
Fit and train
When a tool is approved, the child, carer and teacher get a short orientation so it is used safely and returned on time.
Care
Training and maintenance
A device only helps if the child, family and teacher know how to use it — and who to call when it fails.
- Short use guideAt handover, families and teachers get plain steps for charging, carrying and classroom use.
- Fit with a technicianAdjustments happen with the child present so comfort and learning both work from day one.
- Report faults earlyTell the device desk if something breaks or feels unsafe — do not attempt repairs at home.
- Loan periodsKeep the loan card with the tool and return it on time. Exact periods are confirmed by the desk.
