What is Assistive Technology? High level spinal cord injuries can restrict the use of your arms and hands, and often standard equipment is difficult to use. Our Assistive Technology Facilities include a range of devices and software packages that enable anyone, regardless of their level of injury, 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. Manage Cookie Preferences
