Assistive Technology
Assistive technology is equipment or devices that help a person do tasks they may have difficulties with.
Understanding Assistive Technology
- Hard Assistive Technology: Hard assistive technology involves tangible equipment, devices, and environmental modifications. This can include anything from mobility aids and communication devices to modifications in the home environment. We aim to leverage these tools to enhance accessibility and independence.
- Soft Assistive Technology: On the softer side, assistive technology encompasses training, education, and support. This may involve teaching individuals how to use specific devices or providing ongoing guidance to maximise the benefits of assistive technology in daily life.
Common Examples of Assistive Technology:
-
Electric Recliner Chairs:
Ideal for individuals with mobility challenges, electric recliner chairs provide a comfortable and easily adjustable seating solution.
-
Adjustable Beds:
An adjustable bed is designed to cater to varying comfort preferences and specific needs, providing customisable support for individuals with mobility or positioning requirements.
