AT Assessment and Equipment Prescription
The right equipment has the potential to enhance the day-to-day-life of those who are dealing with a disability, illness, or injury. At Ergo Therapy, we can perform an AT assessment to determine if you or a loved one should have access to this life-changing equipment. Our service has resulted in countless Australians living happier and more rewarding lives.
We not only assess the participant’s capabilities, but we also recommend what the equipment prescription should contain to provide the best results for the participant to achieve their goals. Once the equipment has been prescribed, we regularly check in to make sure the equipment is having the desired results.
If you are searching for high quality OT services that you can trust, give our team a call on 0450 874 303, send an email to admin@ergotherapygroup.com.au, or get in touch via our referral form.
What Does an AT Assessment Involve?
An assistive technology assessment involves a qualified professional from our team assessing the participant to determine how specialised equipment can benefit their life. We take the time to get to know you and your unique situation, ensuring we provide tailored solutions for each participant.
The end goal is to pair the participant with equipment and technology that helps them maintain or improve their functioning and independence in their daily life. If our AT assessment results in the participant receiving equipment, we also provide a follow-up support service to ensure the equipment is being operated effectively and providing the expected benefits.
Why Use an Assistive Technology Assessment?
The findings of an AT assessment have the potential to greatly transform the participant’s life and allow them to achieve goals that were otherwise unobtainable. Whether it is to do something more easily or safely, or do something they otherwise couldn’t have, taking part in an assessment is the first step in taking back control of your life.
If the participant is deemed to require an equipment prescription, this can come in the form of a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or even equipment that is installed in the home, such as a chair lift. These devices allow the participant to enjoy their best life, whether that is inside their home or outside in their local community.
