About the Publication

Use of assistive technology (AT) devices and services can help to improve the participation and inclusion of people living with disability. Funded by NIISQ, this study conducted a website audit and interviews to examine the AT sector from the perspective of the regulatory bodies, agencies and schemes that manage the funding for AT.

The findings highlighted that the range and level of information publicly available varied, with AT for driving and transport, design and building for access and safety, and mobility most often promoted. Key recommendations relate to organisations improving public communication regarding internal processes and the need to address identified risks related to health professional availability, knowledge and skills, and limited accessibility to trial assistive technology.
