Assistive Technology
In 2006, Aspire began to deliver a programme of volunteer-led assistive computer technology assessments and training at spinal injury centres across the UK.
For the first time, people with a high injury, limited or no-hand movement, can, as a standard module of their rehabilitation, receive individually tailored assessments and training that will enable them on to access and operate a computer independently.
The spinal injury centres at Stanmore, Stoke Mandeville, Sheffield, Oswestry, Southport, Salisbury, Cardiff and Belfast now provide this exciting programme that can positively increase a patient's confidence and independence. For many people with a spinal injury, they can for the first time communicate with friends and families, pursue education, retrain or reskill, source vital social and welfare information or simply have fun.
