Communication
Device and Assistive Technology Assessment
Our therapists are highly experienced in completing assessments for communication systems for children and adults with a range of communication needs including Motor Neurone Disease and other neurological conditions, cerebral palsy, autism and other developmental disabilites.
Individualised Solutions
We provide individualised solutions, supporting you to look at the range of options available and deciding on a solution that meets your needs. The process of assessing and prescribing a communication device is collaborative and involves us:
Meeting with you to discuss your communication and identifying the features you need within a communication system
Showing you a range of options meeting the features you require
Collaborating with you and AT suppliers to access trial equipment
Working with you to evaluate the trials
Writing applications for funding including NDIS Assistive Technology Applications
Training you and your team in setting up and using your communication system
Providing ongoing support to ensure your system continues to meet your needs
Up-to-date Assistive Technology
Our therapists regularly work with assistive technology suppliers to ensure they have up-to-date knowledge of the latest communication devices and access technologies including alternative access methods such as eye gaze, switching, head tracking and EMG technologies.
Our therapists are committed to helping you do and keep doing what you want to do providing options not just for face to face communication but for learning, social media, email, phone and text messaging.
We have a range of trial equipment available to minimise wait times for technology prescription. We also regularly access trial equipment from suppliers to ensure you have access to the latest in technology.
