It is highly recommended, that an assessment be done by a team of specialists (occupational/physical therapists, rehabilitation engineers, etc.). With the assessment completed, recommendations on the type of equipment could be appropriately made. Associations that deal with your type of disability as well as state agencies such as Virginia Department of Rehabilitation Services (VDRS) are good places to start.

- Keep accurate records of contacts. Use a notebook. If you are researching on the Web, bookmark your favorite Websites.
- List the type of equipment being researched.
- Talk to people: By talking to peers, support group members, general or specific disability organizations (such as MDA or MS Society), you will learn what has worked best for others with similar needs.
- Make a list of questions: By making the list of questions prior to making the call, you will ensure that nothing will be missed.
