Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on the best places to access assistive technology for the workplace. Who would be the best people to contact to ask for an assessment and does anyone know how much this would cost?
I'll be working with a young person with cerebral palsy starting this September, providing job coaching in a library setting. We will be able to claim Access to Work funding for adjustments and tech, just not sure what is out there at the moment!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
