Assistive Technology Services
What is disability and assistive technology?
Disability and assistive technology combines leading-edge technological invention with modern medicine. We help people with physical and cognitive disabilities select, acquire and use devices that help improve their mobility and independence, as well as their personal, educational and professional capabilities.
Disability and assistive technology can take many forms and can help with many activities of daily living (ADL) like eating, dressing and working. These helping mechanisms may include:
- Computerized communication devices
- Screen-reading or voice recognition software
- Environmental control systems
- Prosthetic devices
- Manual or motorized wheelchairs
- Walkers
- Leg braces
- Simple communication boards
Choosing and helping to incorporate the use of disability and assistive technology into a patient's everyday life is a team effort. At Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital, we make a point of involving not just patients, but also families, primary care doctors, physical and occupational therapists, rehabilitation engineers, and in the case of learning disabilities or communication problems, specialized teachers and speech pathologists. With a world of equipment and technologies to choose from, patients and their families get the expert, long-term support they need to integrate the new technology into their lives.
