Physical Disability
Achieving Greater Levels of IndependenceThe Power of Smart Assistive Technology Solutions
People with physical disabilities are achieving greater levels of independence through the power of smart assistive technology solutions.
These solutions create new realities at home, work, and in the community.
At Living Without Limits, we believe that every person with barrier issues, regardless if they are from a disability they were born with or one acquired due to illness or accident, deserves the opportunity to decide how to live, work, and take part in their communities.
We work with individuals and families, case workers, care givers, and professional service agencies to implement solutions that balance independence and fulfillment with safety and security. Our goal is to offer individuals, family, and friends peace of mind and support throughout the process and beyond.
New Possibilities for People with Physical Disabilities
“Smart home” technologies are taking assistive technology to new levels. At the same time, these smart home technologies provide the information that caregivers and loved ones need to remotely support and provide safety and security. The exact scaffolds and supports each person needs can then be formulated, without providing too much or too little direct caregiving.
INDEPENDENT LIVING SOLUTIONS THAT FIT
Each individual is unique. Discovering the right solution that fits the needs of each person with a physical disability or brain injury starts with a clear understanding of the individual life goals and barriers.
Starting With a Comprehensive Assessment
An AT assessment starts with an understanding of the needs, wants and desires of an individual with physical disabilities. The smart technology solution is then created. Training during the transition to independence builds confidence, competence, and comfort. The right supports, monitoring, and alert systems offer safe, healthier independent living.
Meeting Unique Needs
Our staff of assistive technology and independent living specialists have extensive experience evaluating the needs of persons with physical disabilities and/or acquired brain injuries. Cutting-edge assistive technologies create new opportunities for improving the lives of people with congenital or acquired disabilities. And just as assistive technologies change and develop, the changing capabilities of each individual also drives how assistive technologies are used to meet these shifting needs for the best short and long term solutions.
Staying in Your Home
Helping people who want to remain in their current home or move into a new independent living situation, even if new challenges arise presenting obstacles.
Increasing Independence
