First Nations Perspectives: Assistive technology

Assistive Technology can be the difference between dependence and independence for many older people.

But what if you meet resistance to AT, even if you know it could help?

Maybe you need a new cultural lens.

Vanessa Langenberg and the Growth and Innovation Team at iLA have engaged in exciting collaborations with First Nations groups and other culturally diverse populations to find out more about assistive technology use.

Vanessa shares the outcomes of consultations with First Nations elders.

Their insights can enhance reablement outcomes, and links to some excellent evidence-based resources about AT for First Nations and multicultural populations are included here.
