We have released the Guides for understanding supports: Supporting your child with assistive technology .
Assistive technology (AT) may help children work to their goals. This can help with family relationships, friendships, education, play and household tasks.
The topics covered are:
- Supporting your child’s communication with assistive technology
- Supporting your child’s mobility with assistive technology
- Supporting your child at home and in the community with assistive technology
The Guides detail:
- best practices for early childhood intervention
- assistive technology support options for children
- how to plan the next steps to support a child
- how to choose the right providers.
AT supports may be offered through a child’s NDIS plan or mainstream and community supports .
Community and mainstream supports are available to everyone, whether or not a child has a disability. The Guides also show where to find more information for families.
The series of Guides for understanding supports helps people with disability, their families and carers think about what supports suit their needs.
