Seating and positioning play a significant role in an individual’s ability to move, stabilise and control their body. Operation of a communication device, phone or tablet always requires a movement whether it be eyes, head, arms, hands or any other body part. Different ways of accessing environmental controls, communication devices, mainstream tablets and phones will be discussed in this presentation and how positioning potentially impacts and influences a user’s movement. We will discuss the importance of understanding the functional movements an individual needs to access the other assistive and mainstream technologies to talk, play, work and recreate.
You will have HANDS ON opportunities to explore different access options and participate in a range of case studies to see how technology and positioning come together to support individual’s to access their world.
Seating and positioning play a significant role in an individual’s ability to use their chosen communication device and access method. This workshop will discuss the practical aspects of using mounts to position assistive technology including communication devices, eye gaze devices, switches, phones and tablets. The assessment process and principles of mounting will be explored with opportunities for HANDS ON practice attaching mounts to wheelchairs. The mount examples used will be from the Rehadapt Product range but principles and processes apply to all mounting.
This webinar will go through using the iPad as a communication device. We will discuss communication apps, accessories and alternative access methods.
This workshop is for everyone! And it is FREE!
