Social worker Huang Chiung-hui puts it plainly: Taiwan does not devote enough resources for assistance to the handicapped. For devices costing tens of thousands of NT dollars, the government provides only small subsidies of a few thousand dollars. For many of the handicapped, obtaining such aids remains a distant hope because they can't afford them.
社工員黃瓊慧更一語道破：台灣對殘友福利的投入還不夠多，動輒數萬元的輔具，僅靠著政府微薄幾千元的補助，對許多殘友來說，依舊是可望不可及，沒有能力購買。
