Abstract

This case study from Hft, national charity for people with learning disabilities and their families, illustrates how assistive technology can play a vital role in supporting people with learning disabilities to make the move from traditional registered care to supported living within the community. The article demonstrates how personalised technology was used in response to individual issues to enable the people involved to become more confident and independent and to enjoy a better quality of life, while making the most efficient use of resources.
