Submitting a request for a communication support worker
If you or your child needs a communication support worker (‘schrijf- of gebarentolk’), we can arrange this for you. A communication support worker provides the necessary support to help you complete your education, perform your job or manage daily activities.
How to submit a request for a communication support worker
To submit a request, complete the Disability support application form ('Aanvragen voorziening'). You will need either a DigiD account or a valid European electronic ID (‘Europees erkend inlogmiddel’) to do this. Make sure you tell us what you need a communication support worker for. You will need to make a new request for each specific situation.
What will you need when completing the form?
If the request is for you, please submit the following:
- your citizen service number ('BSN')
- your medical report ('medisch rapport')
If the request is for your child, make sure you also submit the following:
- the authorisation to act on the child’s behalf ('machtiging')
- the child’s citizen service number
- the child’s medical report
Decision
You will receive a decision within 8 weeks of us having received your form. If we need more information from you, we will let you know.
