Assistive Technology

Assistive technology (AT) means products, equipment, and systems that support people with a disability to take part in everyday life. The right AT can empower and transform lives. Access to the right support to help you choose AT is important to ensure that it meets your needs.

Mobility (such as walkers, strollers, wheelchairs, customised orthotics)
Communication (such as speech generating devices, mounting, alternate access devices including switch and eye gaze control)
