This workshop is for OT’s requiring further guidance and support in all things Assistive Technology (AT) in the NDIS.

AT processes can be confusing, but this workshop will assist in breaking down the jargon and increase understanding of the role of the OT at all levels of AT prescription. The workshop will focus on understanding the NDIS rules and applying the AT operational guidelines.

It will also include an overview of the various processes based on risk and cost concerning assessment, trials and reporting.

We will review the structure of the AT template (the better hybrid version), sample the mid-cost AT template and discuss the evidence needed for AT success!

All attendees will receive an attendance certificate for their professional development requirements.
