Aid

Most of the tools can be bought by oneself. Some may also be prescribed as aid by an occupational therapist

Rules and assortments vary between regions, county councils and municipalities. Contact an occupational therapist where you live. They are often listed on BUP and the habilitation. As a young adult you can turn to a district occupational therapist or occupational therapist within psychiatry. If there exists a neuropsychiatric team, there may also be an occupational therapist there.
