How DEAL can help you

DEAL provides augmentative communication services to any Victorian, regardless of age or diagnosis, who cannot speak (or cannot speak intelligibly) and who can attend the DEAL centre.
In theory, we haven't got anything against providing services to people interstate, but except in special circumstances you'll have to be willing to attend the DEAL offices in Caulfield regularly.

DEAL staff visit schools, adult day programs and nursing homes and make regular vists to some country centres.  By special arrangement, our staff can also visit facilities interstate.

DEAL assists Victorians to obtain free electronic communication devices up to a value of $6,000 through the government-funded Aids and Equipment Program.

DEAL delivers seminars and workshops on aspects of augmentative communication at tertiary institutions, schools and centres - just ask us.
