Financing the AMIKEO tablet with the PCH from my MDPH

The “prestation compensation handicap” (PCH) is a financial aid paid by the département. It covers certain expenses linked to a major difficulty in terms of autonomy, as a result of disability (for example, the financing of a technical aid or recourse to a third party).

This is a personalized form of assistance, granted on the basis of a specific request submitted by means of a file, with supporting estimates.

The granting of aid then depends on an assessment of the request by a multi-disciplinary committee.

To make your request, you must send it to the MDPH in your department:

• application form
  New: you can now apply online for certain departments! Go to

The Amikeo Tablet Pack is a compensatory technical aid designed to develop the autonomy of people with disabilities.
Designed with a scientific and ethical committee and in partnership with user associations (UNAPEI, Fédération Française Sésame Autisme…)
the Amikeo Tablet Pack
includes:

• an adapted, secure tablet (with an interface for the user and one for the carer)
• a pack of 10 applications specifically designed and adapted for cognitive or mental disabilities
• reinforced shell with screen protector and stand

1/ The AMIKEO Tablet Pack can be reimbursed as a technical aid under the disability compensation scheme (up to 75%, up to a maximum of €3,960 per 3-year period).

2/ The duration of PCH assistance is 3 years. It is therefore advisable to ask for a 3-year AMIKEO quote to cover the subscription period.

3/ It’s a good idea to test the applications, so that you can explain in your application how they are adapted to the user’s needs (applications can be tested free of charge on the AppStore and Google Play Store).

4/ It is advisable to complete the application form with the support of professionals (speech therapists, psychologists, occupational therapists…).
