You will be asked to provide some background information about yourself, your disability and your requirements – it helps to have researched commercial adaptive items, to be sure that no alternative available, although this is not obligatory. You will NOT be required to forward additional materials like medical documents.
Tetra’s services are offered at no charge – no upfront fees, no call-out charges, no hourly rates and no membership dues. However, clients are asked, where possible, to make a contribution toward materials and mileage expenses. This is something that will be discussed before any costs are incurred and is generally of a modest nature.
Tetra does not compete with commercially available products. In fact we are careful not to, because we want to augment and support products and services that manufacturers and distributors provide to people with disabilities.
Clients can be referred by themselves, family members or health professionals through the same process – the Request for Assistance form.
Tetra goes to great lengths to work for and alongside health professionals. We include them in the process at all stages, from initial meetings with clients to the final signing-off, ensuring they have a full voice throughout.
Tetra works to support these valuable professionals and hopes that they will use Tetra as a resource.
