Assistive Technology Assessments &
Recommendations

Assistive technology can help employees overcome a wide range of workplace barriers, but the right solution depends on the individual, their role and the tasks they need to complete.

AptoLink provides assistive technology assessments and recommendations for employers, helping organisations identify appropriate software, equipment and other technology based on an employee’s actual workplace needs.

Start With the Need, Not the Technology

There is a wide range of assistive technology available, but providing software simply because it is associated with a particular condition does not guarantee that it will help.

We begin by understanding:

What the employee needs to do
Where barriers are occurring
What technology they already use
Their working environment
What systems the employer uses
What outcome the employee and employer need to achieve

We can then identify technology that is appropriate to those requirements.

From Workplace Problem to
Practical Support

Recommendations may include technology to support:

reading and writing

hearing impairment

speech recognition

note taking

communication

organisation and productivity

memory and concentration

visual impairment

screen magnification and screen reading

The assessment may also identify where built-in accessibility features within existing workplace software can provide an effective solution.

Software, Equipment and Workplace Integration

The best solution has to work within the employee’s real workplace.

We therefore consider compatibility with the organisation’s systems and the way the employee needs to work, rather than viewing the technology in isolation.

Where necessary, recommendations may also include appropriate equipment or adjustments alongside software.

Training After Assistive Technology Is Recommended

Providing software is only one part of the process. Employees often require training to understand how the technology can support their particular role and how to incorporate it into everyday working practices.

AptoLink can provide specialist assistive technology and software training following an assessment. This creates a joined-up process:

Assess

Recommend

Implement
