What is an Assistive Technology Assessment?
An Assistive Technology Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that identifies the specific tools, devices, or equipment that can support an individual’s ability to perform everyday tasks. This type of assessment focuses on improving mobility, communication, self-care, and safety through the use of assistive technology.
Our goal is to help NDIS participants access the appropriate technology that aligns with their needs and NDIS goals, promoting greater independence and participation in daily activities.
At Sigma Therapies, our Occupational Therapists work closely with you to assess your current abilities, understand your challenges, and recommend the best solutions to enhance your independence.

What’s Involved in an Assistive Technology Assessment?
Our Assistive Technology Assessments are thorough and conducted in your home environment to ensure we accurately capture your needs. The assessment process typically includes:
Initial Consultation:
We start by discussing your goals, current challenges, and any specific assistive technology you’re interested in. This helps us tailor the assessment to your unique needs.
Evaluation of Physical and Cognitive Abilities:
Our Occupational Therapists assess your physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities to determine how assistive technology can best support your daily living.
Home Environment Assessment:
We review your home setup to identify potential modifications or assistive devices that could improve accessibility and safety. This may include recommendations for grab rails, ramps, or specialised furniture.
Assistive Technology Recommendations:
Based on the assessment, we provide detailed recommendations for assistive technology solutions tailored to your needs. This can include mobility aids, communication devices, personal care equipment, or home modifications.

Support with NDIS Funding:
We provide a comprehensive report outlining the recommended assistive technology, which can be submitted to the NDIS to support funding for the equipment or modifications.

Is an Assistive Technology Assessment Covered by Medicare?
Assistive Technology Assessments are typically funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for eligible participants.
These assessments are designed to help NDIS participants access the funding and services they need to obtain the appropriate assistive technology.
Medicare does not typically cover these assessments. We recommend discussing your NDIS funding options with your NDIS planner or support coordinator to ensure this service is included in your plan.
