Technology Independence Assessment

An initial review of a participant's technology environment, identifying barriers to independence and opportunities for assistive technology.

The Problem

Without a clear picture of a participant's current technology setup and barriers, it's easy to invest in the wrong devices or miss simple changes that could make a big difference to daily independence.

What We Do

We conduct a thorough in-home assessment of all existing technology, connectivity, and accessibility needs — then deliver a prioritised report with practical recommendations tailored to the participant's goals.

How We Deliver

We visit the participant's home, review every device and connection, trial assistive technology options where appropriate, consult with support networks, and produce a written plan that support coordinators can action immediately.
