Assistive Technology Services
For 14 years Lewis Support has been providing independent advice on technology.
Lewis Support offer assessments to improve lives, supporting clients, solicitors, case managers, schools, and universities.
We offer assessments, training, consultancy, and complex installation services for clients with complex difficulties, including learning and hearing impairments.
The Assessment Process
The assessment process helps us identify a client’s immediate technology needs and recommend appropriate solutions.
Enquiry
We talk to you about what services you need.
At this stage we can offer a quote.
Gathering information
We ask for reports from other professionals or pen profile on the client to help us prepare.
The Assessment
We work hard to create a relaxed assessment atmosphere. This involves gathering as much information as we can to provide helpful advice and recommendations.
Much of this will be working directly with the client allowing them to try options etc.
We meet with other professionals such as teachers and the therapy team where possible.
The Report
After the assessment, we write a detailed report outlining our recommendations in an easy-to-follow format.
The report can be used to advise on what equipment and services the client needs.
This will explain where to purchase and how to set up the equipment to meet the client’s needs.
Set-up
Many clients need guided help setting up the recommendations.
In the report, we provide the option for a complete set-up and familiarisation to ensure everything is working as it should and correctly adapted.
Training
We offer full training, often providing this on an ongoing basis to new support workers, as clients progress through their education/development or simply if they need reminders.
Support
We are regularly invited to represent clients at EHCP, TAF meetings and school reviews.
In addition to joining the teams at MDTs. Where we offer advice and expertise in the field of assistive technology.
