Finding the Right Assistive Technology

Getting my smart home devices approved through NDIS was a game-changer. I now use voice-activated lights, a smart doorbell, and an automated medication dispenser. These supports mean I can live independently without relying on a support worker for every little task. The key was getting an OT assessment that recommended the specific devices and explained how each one related to my goals. It took a few months to get approved, but it was worth the wait.
