Use your Core Supports for Support Coordination services but it is important to note though that you have to maximize your Support Coordination funding first before you are allowed to use your Core Supports funding to pay for the service
Use your Core Supports to purchase devices like IPAD or tablets, of course, this should be within the premise of what is deemed to be reasonable and necessary. The purpose of purchasing the device should co-relate to accessing services you need in relation to your disability.
