Embrace the Possibilities of Assistive Technology

At Peak Rehabilitation we are committed to helping individuals embrace the possibilities of assistive technology and the process of exploring these items.

Assistive technology is defined as any type of device, equipment or technology that provides access and support to people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities.

To evaluate your assistive technology needs, we will conduct an assessment that involves a comprehensive evaluation of your physical abilities, functional requirements and daily activities. After this assessment process, we will work with you to trial the equipment recommendations to ensure that it is appropriate for your needs. We can also assist you in navigating the funding application process and provide customisation and adjustments as well as training on its proper use. The trial process is a collaborative process in which our team works with you to match the most appropriate equipment with your needs.

To learn more about our assistive technology assessments, call us on 0421 726 284 today. We will assist you throughout the process and ensure you are informed every step of the way.

How do assistive technology assessments work?
Assistive technology can enhance your independOur experienced Occupational Therapists will come to your home, community, or workplace to collaborate with you in pinpointing the assistive technology that aligns with your lifestyle and the specific location where you require it. During your assistive technology assessment, the following considerations will be taken into account:
- Identifying challenges you may currently face.
- Identifying tasks you enjoy but find difficult to complete.
- Assessing any physical obstacles in your environment that can be modified.
- Exploring the potential integration of assistive technology, such as voice-activated systems, to enhance usability.
- Evaluating the feasibility of portable technology solutions, like Smart Watches, to support you when you're on the go.
- Examining safety enhancements that can be implemented to create a secure environment.
- Assessing how the chosen item will seamlessly fit into your daily life.
After assessing your needs, your Occupational Therapist will arrange for a trial of the available assistive technology solutions. This ensures that the chosen item is suitable for your environment, allows for necessary modifications, and ensures it can achieve the desired functional outcomes.
How quick is it to access assistive technology?

Once the assistive technology (AT) assessment and trials have concluded, the Occupational Therapist will offer a timeline for the expected delivery of the AT item. The timing can vary based on the nature of the items, the approval process involved, and the speed of procurement.

Certain AT products, particularly those considered high risk or high cost, may necessitate comprehensive reporting and analysis for approval. Conversely, smaller, low-cost items like smartwatches or shower chairs may receive funding immediatly. You can trust that our Occupational Therapists will guide clients throughout the entire process, including training on the proper setup to ensure correct utilisation of the AT item.
How much does an assistive technology assessment cost?

Costs can differ depending on the client's needs and the complexity of their situation. Our team will discuss your specific requirements, allowing us to determine a customised cost estimate that aligns with your individual circumstances.
