AT Chat have recently released a community-developed resource guide about how AT can help you stay connected and communicate with friends and family - from low-tech communication aids like visual schedules and communication boards, to shared visual calendars and voice tools, like text to speech and visa versa.

Click the link in the post below to read their guide.

Staying connected with family, friends and your community is an important part of supporting your mental health and wellbeing.

In our latest guide, the AT Chat community shares the assistive technology, accessibility features, and simple tips that help them stay connected with others.

Using AT can support connection by helping people:

➡️ Make phone calls easier
➡️ Express themselves
➡️ Stay organised
➡️ Remember important contacts and events

Many helpful tools are available at a low cost or already built into your phone, tablet, or computer. There are even options you can print and make yourself.

Finding the right solutions for your needs means you can be more engaged in everyday life, relationships, and community activities.

We recently welcomed another group of first-year Occupational Therapy students from Curtin University to our Experience Centre!

Guided by Indigo OTs Rachel and Eunice, the students explored our range of AT, from mobility scooters to kitchen aids. They gained hands-on experience, and learned how assistive tech can support independence, improve everyday living, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients.

We love introducing future OTs to the practical applications of AT, and we're excited to support the next generation of allied health professionals as they begin their journey.
