Assistive Technology Services
Overview
Technology is a powerful enabler for people with disabilities. With the help of assistive technology (AT), many had been able to overcome their day-to-day challenges and become fully-integrated into all aspects of community living. We advocate the use of AT through our Specialised Assistive Technology Centre (Specialised ATC) which provides the following services:
- AT assessment (download our Referral Form)
- Training on use of AT devices (look out for training courses periodically conducted by the Specialised ATC in SPD Events)
- Trial/Loan of Devices from AT Loan Library
- Onsite Assessment: e.g. School/Workplace/Home
- Technical support (virtual or in-person; please contact us for more information)
- Sales co-ordination support for AT devices (please contact us for more information)
- Prescription of suitable AT devices and Assistive Technology Fund application (where applicable)
