Understanding NDIS Assistive Technology and Its Benefits
According to the World Health Organisation, Assistive Technology includes “any device or system that allows individuals to perform tasks they would otherwise be unable to do or increases the ease and safety with which tasks can be performed.” This broad definition encompasses various tools and equipment that help you achieve greater autonomy in your daily activities.
Types of Assistive Technology
Assistive Technology comes in many forms, such as:
- Household Equipment: Devices that assist with bathing, toileting, cooking, and cleaning, making everyday tasks more manageable.
- Mobility Equipment: Tools like wheelchairs, walking frames, and scooters that facilitate movement and enhance mobility.
- Transfer Equipment: Solutions including mobile hoists, ceiling hoists, and standers that promote safe and easy transfers between surfaces.
- Communication Equipment: Devices that aid communication for those with speech or language difficulties, ensuring you can express your needs and desires.
- Sleep Systems: Specialised mattresses and supports that improve sleep quality and comfort, contributing to overall well-being.
