Assistive In-Home Technology

Specialist spinal injury lawyers work with their clients, their families and case mangers to utilise assistive technology in order to provide independent living solutions.

The selection of assistive technology products allows spinally injured clients to control heating and lighting systems, gives them access to entertainment such as TV, radio and the internet and allows communication via telephone and email to be conducted in a manner which is complimentary to clients needs.

The technologies are controlled via computer systems that are installed throughout client’s homes. In the vast majority of cases, those affected by spinal injury are unable to use a standard keyboard.

As a result, the lawyer can utilise a wide range of access devices, such as gaze direction tracking, bespoke control keys, customised joysticks, hand positioning sensors, touch-screens, speech recognition and command recognition software.

A lawyers initial assessment identifies the access device that best fits the client’s needs to ensure ease of operation.

It is the lawyers in depth knowledge of this area coupled with the implementation of this cutting-edge technology that provides the key to re-establish long-term independence.
