Power of AT with the Community Development Authority

We delivered “Power of Assistive Technology” training with the Community Development Authority in Dubai. It introduced the range of assistive technology available, from devices to software and adaptive tools, and how it can help with mobility, communication, sensory needs and cognitive support.

Global ALS/MND Awareness Day

Every year on 21 June, the International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations marks Global ALS/MND Awareness Day, recognising people living with ALS/MND and everyone working to understand and treat it.

New: Look Lab

Look Lab from Smartbox is a software package of 38 accessible games and creative activities for people who use eye gaze. It suits people trying eye gaze for the first time, those moving on from cause-and-effect activities, and teenagers and adults looking for more mature, challenging games. Users can choose activities and change settings themselves, and move straight to Grid to chat or recalibrate their eye tracker.
