Computer aided solutions
Technological answers to human problems
Professor Stephen Hawking (probably the world's best known user of assistive technology) calls computer-based assistive technology "a bridge to independence". Today, computers play an increasingly large role in teaching and many aspects of communication.
Young people who will never hold a pencil can use computers to express themselves through drawing and writing. Those unable to speak can gain a voice by using them to communicate. Computers provide topics and incentives for learning at all levels. They help young people gain self confidence, a wide range of vital skills as well as useful knowledge that is increasingly needed to function in our society.
Our engineers help students access the benefits of computers through alternative technology techniques that make them ‘useable' by adapting keyboards and mice to the users own unique needs. Special keyboards, mice, joysticks and a wide range of switches are also utilised.
In addition, we use a wide range of specialist computer and communication software. Our engineers can readily customise graphical user interfaces, magnify screens, provide screen readers, optical character recognition and spell checkers - among many other services.
