Hearing
 
Hearing
 
People who have hearing impairments may be able to hear some sound, but may not be able to distinguish words. Other people may not be able to hear sound at all. For people with hearing impairments, computer prompts such as beeps and spoken messages can be problematic. People with hearing impairments need to get visual signals for all information otherwise conveyed by sound.

Mobility
 
Mobility
 
Mobility impairments can be caused by a wide range of illnesses and accidents such as arthritis, stroke, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and repetitive stress injury, amoung other causes. These make using standard keyboards, mouse devices, and software programs difficult. The devices contained in our mobility category offer enabling solutions for these sorts of issues.

Communication

These devices assist people of all ages in communicating. Product range includes speech generating aids, prerecorded message devices, software applications to help people develop fine control of their voices, or even hardware aimed at helping someone with choice making.

Enviromental Control
 
Environmental Control
 
Environmental Control technology is any system or design that permits remote control of electronic devices in an environment. For example, an individual can remotely and independently turn lights off or on, answer or initiate phone calls, or simply unlock a door. Environmental Control devices empower individuals to more easily function independently and safely.

Switches make activities easier and are ideal for people who struggle with motor control issues. Switches can help with sequential message communication, environmental control, and computer functions. There are many different types of switches including sensitive, large button, small button, sip/puff, and foot switches.

Training/Assessment
 
Matching the most suitable enabling technology with the end user is only the first step in helping someone maximise their potential. The TechReady team believe technology is a tool which can provide an outcome. But simply having tools doesn't mean someone knows how to put them to use. Our trainers specialise in empowering people to use their technology tools with efficiency, fun and a sense of accomplishment.
