- Once a completed questionnaire is received by our office, the client will be added to our waitlist, and then the client will be contacted to schedule the initial assessment appointment. Typical waiting time is 3-4 months, but urgent requests will be considered.
- Upon completion of the assessment, the OT will prepare a report and funding will be requested from appropriate sources.
- Once funding for the equipment is confirmed, the equipment will be ordered by our office.
- Delivery of equipment to our facility may take up to 8 weeks.
- Once equipment arrives, it is adjusted and/or customized to meet predetermined needs.

- Follow-up will be provided to the client, as required, for the life of the equipment.
