It will then be ordered via ICES (Integrated Community Equipment Service). It may require fitting/adjustment by your therapist when it is delivered. If a fault occurs with the equipment after you have received it contact ICES.

If your child outgrows the equipment or you have concerns e.g. about positioning or use, contact the professional who assessed your child for the equipment.
