Assistive Technology- beyond software Mary Lockwood and Jane Reynolds

History Request from an individual student with particular needs. Highlighted issues around our obligation to provide adjustable work stations for all students registered to use our service. Our service has to support students across 10 sites Our annual Assistive Technology budget is £10,000.

Assistive Technology Room The issues The process The results

Before One size fits all approach Gap in our service provision Individual requirements differ widely Starting point

Process Looked critically at our existing provision Contacted a supplier Negotiated the loan of furniture to trial Contacted ATR users Collected feedback via comments cards Selected a range of seating based on user feedback

After

Are you sitting comfortably? Versatile seating Greater degree of adjustment Monitor arms to improve flexibility of desk space. Foot rests

Lumbar and neck support Versatile lumbar support. Easy to adjust from sitting position. Intuitive design

Comfort and support Wider seat with soft mesh back. Arms /no arms Automatic adjustments, with self-adjusting recline

Chairs with moveable lumbar support

Storage facilities Lockers provide storage for individual’s equipment so that it can be left on site. Short term and long term allocation.

Limited resources-how to manage? How do we ensure those who will benefit most get access to resources? Only seven workstations in Assistive Technology room Referrals from Disability Services Long term and short term loans (12 lockers) Alternatives: bookable study space, site licensed software, ergonomic equipment to customise any workstation.

Additional facilities 1 Bookable study room 1 PC with Dragon software Bookable scanning station for support workers to use Meet with support worker

Additional facilities 2 Bookable study room 2 Space for quiet study Space to work with a support worker Ergonomic chair No PC- as requested by students

Additional facilities 3 Four individual study rooms Allocated for long term use

Ten branch libraries Pool of equipment Can be moved to where it is needed

How to loan out equipment that isn’t a book Catalogued equipment- not confined: Laptops & Digital recorders What if equipment gets broken/damaged/stolen? You owe us £500! Non-catalogued equipment- confined to the library: Ergonomic equipment Coloured overlays Labelled and security protected

Practical considerations/issues to think about Who can help adjust the chairs and equipment? How do we advertise? More provision across the branches
