  • How Assistive Technology can help you

How Assistive Technology can help you

The Aspire Assistive Technology Programme means that anyone, regardless of the level of their spinal cord injury, can independently use a computer, tablet or phone.

High level spinal cord injuries can restrict the use of your arms and hands, which means that standard equipment can be difficult to use. Our Assistive Technology Facilities include a range of devices and software packages that enable anyone to use a computer independently. We regularly research and test new technologies, such as tablet computers, gaming controls and smartphones, so we are able to offer advice in these areas too.

To find out more please email Alison, our Assistive Technology Manager at [email protected]
