Assistive Technology Support

The right equipment can transform daily life. We help you find, trial and master assistive technology, from simple aids to smart-home solutions.

Assistive technology covers everything from a well-chosen shower chair to powered wheelchairs, communication devices and smart-home systems that let you control lights, doors and appliances independently. The right item, fitted well, can replace hours of hands-on support with self-reliance.

The hard part is choosing well. The market is crowded, funding rules are specific, and equipment that suits one person can be useless for another. We help you cut through it, working with occupational therapists and suppliers to trial options before anyone commits.

And because a device only helps if it is actually used, our support workers are trained on your equipment and help you build confidence with it in everyday life.
