What to expect
What does the funding process actually look like?
It's simpler than it sounds. The typical process looks like this:
2. Book a needs assessment
A needs assessor will talk through the challenges you're experiencing and identify the tools that could help. This is where TalkType can be recommended.
3. Funding is approved
Once your assessment is complete and funding is approved, TalkType is covered. You get full access at no cost to you.
Already in the process?
If you've already had a needs assessment and TalkType has been recommended, or you want to share more information with your assessor, you can download our justification guides below.
