Alternative Access
Not everyone interacts with technology the same way—and that's okay! This service provides tools and methods to help individuals use Assistive Technology, communication devices, and everyday equipment when standard methods aren't suitable.
Our skilled Occupational Therapists specialise in alternative access solutions for all ages and abilities, working closely with you and other Health Professionals to find the best fit for your needs.
What is Alternative Access
Alternative access means accessing or controlling things in an alternative way. For example, if you find it hard to use a touch screen, you might find it easier to use a joystick, keyboard or eye gaze to control a device. You might also need help to position your own body or the device so that it's easy to use and won't cause pain or other problems later.
Usually, alternative access solutions help to control some form of computer technology - for example, computers, iPads, smartphones, smart home devices or powered wheelchairs.
Who can benefit from alternative access?
- Individuals with physical disabilities that affect movement or dexterity
- Individuals with neurological conditions impacting control or coordination
- Individuals with communication challenges requiring assistive technology
- Individuals with posture and positioning needs for comfort and function
