Assistive Devices


Various devices and equipment can assist clients in maintaining or increasing their functional capabilities.  Our staff helps to identify products and any necessary modifications or customization to best meet each client’s needs.  Instruction provided at the Center ensures that clients get the most out of modern technology.

Some of the many examples of assistive devices include:

Daily Living Equipment – Vibratory alert systems, such as a liquid level indicator, color identifier, long-ring timer and vibrating money identifier.

Alternative Communication – Telephone systems with Braille or large print access, vibra-tactile signal system, Closed Circuit TeleVision (CCTV magnifier), assistive listening devices for use in one-to-one or group settings, Braille/Print aids, dry erase boards and various writing products that allow meaningful communication. 

Computer adaptations – Software adaptations allow information to be displayed in Braille, large print, or synthesized speech.  Hardware devices include portable word processing note takers, Braille embossers, and scan-and-read equipment.
