About the service
About Communication and Information Equipment under the NDIS
Communication and information equipment helps participants who have difficulty with speech, language, or accessing information to communicate and connect — augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, speech-generating devices, communication apps, eye-gaze technology, and adapted computer access. For people who cannot rely on speech, the right technology gives them a voice and a way to be understood, which is fundamental to expressing choices, building relationships, learning, and staying safe.
A speech pathologist, often with an occupational therapist, usually assesses needs and recommends a system, and because devices are individual and costly, a trial is common before funding. Success depends not just on the device but on setting it up, programming it to the person's vocabulary, and training the person and those around them. When choosing a provider, look for experience with the technology you need, the ability to trial and customise devices, and strong training and follow-up support, working closely with your speech pathologist.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions

There is 1 NDIS Communication and Information Equipment provider listed in Port Pirie South.
Which Port Pirie South suburbs have the most Communication and Information Equipment providers?

What is AAC and can the NDIS fund it?
AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) includes systems and devices — from picture boards to speech-generating and eye-gaze devices — that support people who cannot rely on speech. The NDIS can fund AAC where a speech pathologist's assessment shows it relates to your disability and goals and is the most suitable, value-for-money option.
Why is a trial often needed?
Communication devices are highly individual and can be costly, so trialling a device helps confirm it works for the person before it is funded. A trial also informs how the device should be programmed and set up to match the person's abilities and needs.
What support should come with the device?
A device on its own is rarely enough. Look for a provider that sets up and programs the device to your vocabulary and needs, and trains you and the people around you to use it, with ongoing follow-up as your communication skills change.
