Building NDIS evidence for a reading pen: a guide for therapists

A C-Pen is low-cost assistive technology, so the NDIS does not require a quote or a formal AT assessment. What decides whether a participant can use their funding is whether the pen is reasonable and necessary for their disability and goals, and whether it supports daily life rather than only schoolwork. A short, specific recommendation from a therapist makes that case clear.
