To ensure that our waitlists remain as short as possible we encourage you to speak to one of our speech pathologists regarding the best option for you to trial. There are times that multiple devices will need to be trialled to determine the most suitable device.

Link Assistive has insurance for the equipment when it is in transit to and from the borrower.

Link Assistive is pleased to cover our loan devices for Accidental Damage throughout the period of the trial. However, the individual or organization signing the Equipment Loan Agreement is liable for all costs if the equipment is lost or stolen. Should the equipment not operate properly when it arrives, please notify Link Assistive immediately upon noticing the malfunction and request instructions.

The Link Assistive Team is available to support you from assessment through the device trial process and evaluation. Our Speech Pathologists can support you in determining suitable equipment to trial and providing you with the training you need to make the most of your trial. Should you encounter technical challenges during your trial our team is able to log in remotely to the device to support with troubleshooting.

We also have a range of support resources including assessment forms, trial evaluation forms and feature matching tools on our website: Tobii Dynavox Resources
