What professions are NDIS assistive technology advisors?

[LifeBalanceNDIS]

It's recommended to seek advice before purchasing assistive technology to ensure it meets the participant's needs.

Assistive technology advisors may include:

• allied health practitioners such as audiologists, occupational therapists, orthoptists, orthotists/prosthetists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, speech pathologists
• assistive technology mentors with a recognised qualification in assistive technology advice
• orientation and mobility specialists for the vision sector
• continence nurses
