Assistive Technology
Project AT for ALL
Sometimes, AT devices bought commercially cannot meet certain requirements in some people with unique conditions. Project AT for ALL aims to fill in this gap to better meet the needs of individuals by offering modifications and/or adaptations to existing devices or even fabricating devices that are not found commercially.
How you can help
- Refer people who can benefit from the use of AT but whose needs are not fully met
- Volunteer your service if you are technically skilled
Our process (estimated 2 months after acceptance of referral)
- Acceptance of referral and assessment
- Ensure no commercially available devices present that can help client
- Identify volunteers and brainstorm for solutions
- Propose solution and estimated material cost to client
- Proceed with job if solution and cost accepted by client
- Training and re-assessment after job completion
