This line item funds specialised interfaces, devices, and software to help NDIS participants engage in recreational gaming activities when they are unable to do so through conventional means due to their disability. This equipment is crucial for enabling participation in leisure and social activities.
Examples of funded items include:
Adaptive Controllers: Specialised controllers (e.g., sip/puff, foot-operated, large-button, or single-switch devices) that replace or adapt standard controllers for console or computer gaming.
Modified Gaming Consoles/PCs: Adaptations or accessories that make a gaming system accessible.
Game Interfaces: Devices that translate a participant's available movement or input into game commands.

This support is a Quotable Support. This means a quote from a provider is typically required, and the final price must be negotiated and agreed upon with the participant as part of a service agreement. The purchase of this equipment must be directly related to the participant's disability and help them achieve a goal outlined in their NDIS plan.
