How the simplest AT solutions can be the most powerful

Low-cost assistive technology can have a powerful impact on a client’s safety, independence, and quality of life, yet are often overlooked or abandoned shortly after implementation.

Through real-world clinical discussion, participants will gain greater confidence in identifying effective low-cost AT options that support their client’s everyday function across community and aged care settings.
