What People do with Assistive Technology
We have worked alongside people with a disability for many years. During that time we have seen hundreds of people transform their lives, becoming more productive and independent, through assistive technology.
Here is a sample of what we’ve seen them do:
- WRITE letters, emails, faxes, stories, poems, essays, theses.
- SPEAK through synthetic speech.
- TELEPHONE friends and family members, from fixed, mobile or internet phones.
- CREATE music, recipes, embroidery, poetry, designs
- ORGANISE their lives – appointments, contacts, rosters, to-do listS
- WATCH DVD movies, sport, documentaries, nature programs
- LOOK UP news, weather, share market, dictionary, postcodes, transport information, maps, traffic information, accessibility information, encyclopaedia, TV guide, reviews.
- PLAY music, games on their own, games with family members ands friends, on-line games with others anywhere in the world.
- PHOTOS and MOVIES. Take them, edit them, store them, share them.
- MANAGE budgets, finances, investments.
- READ books, journals, newspapers, web sites.

An important part of our work is to research and test new devices and options, as they become available.
Ability does supply products as well, but this is limited to our own clients (past and present) and to disability organisations, by special arrangement. Please contact us for details.
