Hi Mike We provide this in Tayside, but on the basis of it being a lower priority than our ECE and special controls work, in that we allocate
a nominal session/week (from 2 Clin Sci WTEs) to cover this sort of work, although the input is significantly higher when it is part of the provision of an integrated system. We have no funds to cover equipment related to accessibility, aside from basic switches,
but we regularly provide reports to support funding cases. I personally feel that this really should become a core component of EAT services, given the increasing importance of computing, and
the internet in particular, for so many aspects of independence in everyday life (access to services, home working, keeping in contact, banking, shopping, rights issues etc.).

On Behalf Of Broadhurst, Mike Hi all
Do any of you working in NHS departments provide computer access assessments to local clients? By this I mean access to PC or laptop for email/word processing/internet, not AAC
or ECS. We have provided this service for some years and I would like to know if we are offering something unusual, to help justify continued funding.
I am aware of Ability Net and the Ace Centres as we do work in conjunction with these on occasions.
Thanks

Our multidisciplinary service is provided as a partnership between Health and Education in East Kent, with some funding from Children’s Social Services. We
work with children and young people – before ultimately handing them over to Aejaz’s Adult Service. AAC and computer access form our core work. The computer access is often strongly linked to curriculum access – although we are building up our work around
access to leisure, which includes computing for leisure and aspects of environmental control. We directly assess and provide equipment and support to children & young people with the most complex needs (“Tier 2”) – but we have developed a number of
resources (in partnership with others) to support community OTs, Specialist Teachers and others to support children with more straightforward needs (“Tier 1”). These resources include:
·
Generic training courses – some targeted at defined professional groups, some around specific software, others targeted at meeting needs in particular
environments
·
Consultations for professionals around individual children – they bring info and a video and end up with suggestions and an action plan
·
“Cluster boxes” - sets of alternative computer access devices available for loan to Health and Education professionals who have attended “Cluster
Box Training”
·
Website:
www.kenttrustweb.org.uk/senict
·
Loan equipment (mainly AAC) – in conjunction with the Find A Voice charity So – we do provide computer access assessments – but there are other local professionals and organisations working with children in this area of work – and
partnership has been key for us. Yours David Attwell

Door Entry Cameras

Hi, Has anyone supplied a door entry camera system for a patient
(specifically from an Environmental Control budget) to improve their security
measures? I would perceive that one coming in through a TV channel would be
suitable for an Environmental Control user rather than on a small screen on a
telephone. It would make sense for such a system to be supplied by Social Work
as it would be a standard “off the shelf” item rather than a specialist
product. Thoughts on this? Thanks, Neil

Hi Neil We are currently involved in the supply of such a device. You might consider the inclusion of a transceiver as part of the installation so that the image
could be sent to multiple TVs. The funding is coming via a stage3 adaptation request, which was accepted with a supporting assessment from me, although these are traditionally provided by OTs. If that funding route had failed we would have considered fundintg
it through the budget for the local telecare project. The security issues for this client had significant quality of life implications, associated with acceptance of their new accommodation, and was easily justifiable. Hope that helps.

Dear all who have responded to this subject, I have been very interested in reading your responses. I am an OT who is now Wirral’s Assistive Technology
Strategic Development Manager. My role initially has been around establishing a
telecare service via the Preventive Technology Grant. Now, I am project managing
the numerous facets of telecare, telemedicine and beyond. As part of the latter
I have been managing the case of an individual who has required a computer to
enable her independence. She wishes to use Outlook to send prompts to her
mobile phone as she has memory problems affecting day to day planning. The IT
is also to enable her re her hobbies of grow your own gardening and card making
– the latter being a business opportunity. Her computer is being funded via Wirral’s Personalised
Budget pilot as personalised budgets can be used for the purchase of
technology. In enabling individuals to use their Personalised Budgets in
this way, my concern is how we ensure that individuals have the assessment and
advice they need. This is important to ensure the solutions individuals need
are effectively and appropriately identified and that money is not wasted, by
them having to trawl through the market place to hopefully find what is required.
My current experience has led to me working with North West
EAT, which is obviously a resource with a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
Our discussions of how such advice and support could be provided have initially
involved the ideas of bringing a basic level of expertise locally here in
Wirral e.g. basic switches, software programmes etc, possibly via an
environment like an Independent Living Centre. We also a need to consider how
we can ensure access to the expertise of the EAT service, is available when
required beyond this. This could involve an increase in the EAT work load. I have provided feedback regarding the need for computer access
assessments and assessment for specialist technology, in relation to the
effective use of personalised budgets, to the recent consultation relating to
the Specialised Services National
Definitions Set (3rd Edition) Assessment and Provision of
Equipment for People with Complex Physical Disabilities (all ages) - Definition
no. 5. From reading all your responses, this subject of computer
access assessments appears to be one that various EAT type services are aware
of, providing or grappling with, across the country. I would welcome some
understanding as to whether you are all EAT services or something else. I would
also appreciate any comments or further thoughts on this issue. As I progress here with my project to find out how we will
meet the computer access and other technology needs of individuals, here on
Wirral, I am happy to update the forum of my progress and hopefully the final
outcome. Regards Angie Angie Carter Wirral Assistive Technology - Health and Social Care Award Winners
