For users of eye-tracking technology, head mouse, touch screen, mouse, joystick, keyboard, switch array, and switch access on computers, tablets, smartpohnes, or on dedicated devices including:
Software Adaptations
Vocabulary packages can be quite generic. Bespoke pages for specific situations (such as performance, shopping, worship, and presentations) makes your device more relevant to the situation and can support you to be involved.
Assessments
Sellers knowledge of their own kit creates an unintended bias that may lead them to discard a more appropriate solution from another seller. Many schools, rehabilitation centres, and community teams have limited access to equipment, which limits their experience and may limit your potential options. The national assistive technology hubs have lots of kit but their acceptance criteria limits who can access it. Consider a third-party independent assessment to make sure you are getting the most out of your assistive technology.
Training
Most training is focused almost entirely on the equipment. Understanding the details of how the person and the technology interacts leads to better front line support.
Improving access settings and calibration
Many assistive techonology equipment settings go under utilised, leading to the person having to adapt to the device rather than having the device adapted to the person. Most assisitve technology software have scores of automated default settings that are often not considered for improving device performance.
