This film shows the importance of providing assistive products through a trained service provider and including 4 important steps : select, fit, use and follow-up. Trained service providers support people in selecting the right assistive product, fit the product to make it comfortable and safe for the person, teach the person how to use it and look after their products, and follow-up to see if the product still meet the person's needs. WHO estimates that one billion people around the world need assistive technology but only one in 10 have access.
