Understanding the NDIS webinar: Assistive Technology

When NDIA talks about assistive technology, we mean equipment, technology, and devices that help you do things you can’t do because of your disability.

Assistive technology includes items designed to improve your daily life and help you do everyday activities. It may also help you do something more easily or safely.

In this presentation we will cover:

• What assistive technology is

• How it can support independence and safety

• Examples of assistive technology

• How to access assistive technology through the NDIS

Who is this webinar for?

This session is designed for NDIS participants, carers, families, and kin, as well as supporting services such as advocacy organisations, peer support networks, and carers’ groups.
