A collaborative agreement between MND Tasmania and the Cure MND Foundation ‘Fight MND’ will significantly improve access to essential communication equipment for members.  ‘Fight MND’ has donated $50,000 for the purchase of a range of Assistive Technology equipment for communication assessment, trial and loan.  The Independent Living Centre Tasmania (ILC Tas) will administer this service.  Members may be referred to the ILC team by their Speech Pathologist.  If you need to know more contact Hayley Tristram our MND Advisor. There will be progress updates as the scheme is rolled out.  Thank you to ‘Fight MND’ and all the hard-working donors in Tasmania who have enabled this new service, with a special mention to the 2016 Tassie Freeze MND Ball committee.
