What does Assistive Technology Mean?

The term “assistive technology” refers to assistive, adaptive, or rehabilitative devices that may help those living with disabilities. NDIS assistive technology can help Australians to live healthy independent lives, participating in education, workplaces, and day-to-day life with lesser needs for long-term care or formal health and support services.

Assistive technology can help reduce exclusion and isolation by providing methods to interact and engage with activities at home and in society. Some examples of assistive technologies include:

  • Specialised toys, scissors or grips to develop play engagement and fine motor skills. 

  • Sensory toys to support self-regulation at home and in the community such as vibrating cushion to increase attention when sitting. 

  • Recreational devices to help enjoy hobbies like modified fishing rods, audio descriptions for movies, or cuffs for grasping paddles or rackets.

  • Sensory aids such as magnifiers, hearing aids, or braille and speech output devices. 

  • Mobility aids like electric or manual wheelchairs, shower chairs or pool hoists.
