…is to share with you some of the assistive technology (AT) available at our centre and hope that this will open up
possibilities for you, whether you are a person with disabilities or a caregiver or an educator of a person with disabilities.

Always look at the person’s goal and abilities first…
• We would like to emphasise the usefulness and importance of first focusing on the task(s) the person wants to accomplish, his/her current abilities and environment instead of looking only at the AT device.
• We would like to encourage the person with disabilities to check with his/her therapist or attend an AT assessment at Tech Able for a prescription of AT solution first before making a purchase.
• Therapists in Tech Able can provide AT assessment and training. But please email ([email protected]) us to make an appointment as we do not accept walk-in for assessment and training.
• The next two slides will provide a brief overview of the SETT framework which guide one in understanding and getting the appropriate AT for his/her respective use.
