AAC and AT Assessment
At AccessNow360, our assessments go beyond the technology. We work in partnership with you, your family, carers, and the professionals already involved in your life to build a full picture of your needs, strengths, and goals.
Our assessments are person-centred and holistic, covering a wide range of needs including complex disabilities, cerebral palsy, multiple and intellectual disabilities, and specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dyspraxia.
Our assessments cover:
- Communication and AAC needs
- Access methods assessment — including eye gaze, switch scanning, and low-tech tools
- Mounting and positioning
- Access to the curriculum and activities of daily living
- Environmental control
- Leisure, gaming, and social participation
We draw on our combined occupational therapy and speech-language therapy expertise to ensure every recommendation is tailored to the individual — their sensory profile, daily routines, and the environments where they live, learn, and play.
Our goal is always participation. We want every person to have the tools they need to communicate, connect, and engage with the world around them — using the latest mainstream and specialist technologies available.
Following assessment, we provide clear, practical recommendations and support you to implement them. We will help set up your AT in whichever environment you need it, teach you how to use it, and provide ongoing support if you have questions or need help in future.
