Cases requiring expertise in assistive and adaptive technology (AAT) often involve individuals who have been seriously incapacitated by an injury whereby their ability to function on a day-to-day basis requires supplemental support from adaptive technology and rehabilitation devices.
Improving the quality of life and independence of those with motor, sensory and cognitive impairments may require a direct approach by way of Smart home technology, hearing enhancement equipment and voice-activated technology, or may involve the need to implement AAT to accommodate more complex needs such as eye-gaze technology, cognitive aids and high-tech powered wheelchairs.
Assistive and Adaptive Technology assessments focus on enabling functional outcomes by implementing tailored equipment and solutions that work for both the injured individual and their families. These solutions do not just focus on managing daily activities, but go further to support participation and independence with social and leisure activities, education, employment and environmental access/ control. Assessments don’t just focus on immediate requirements – they consider long-term and developing needs also, ensuring that recommendations are sustainable and proportionate over time.
The assistive and adaptive technology report you will receive is bespoke, focusing on the individualised needs of each Claimant, whilst ensuring that the AAT which is recommended within the expert witness report is both reasonable and justifiable in terms of cost, need and application.
