Assistive Technology in Health and Social Care Course

Technology can make life more accessible, but choosing the right support is not always straightforward. This CPD-accredited Assistive Technology in Health and Social Care course helps you understand how Assistive Technology (AT) in health and social care can support communication, independence, mobility, learning and wellbeing. Rather than focusing only on devices, the course looks at how technology can be matched to individual needs, preferences and circumstances.

You’ll explore Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), sensory support technology, mobility aids, environmental control systems and smart home technologies. The course also covers assistive technology for visual and hearing impairments, learning disabilities, cognitive disabilities and mental health needs. This understanding can help you recognise where technology may remove barriers, support activities of daily living and encourage greater participation and independent living.

Knowing what technology exists is only part of the picture. You’ll also explore user-centred design, individualised assessment, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. UK law for assistive technology, safeguarding, ethical responsibilities, advocacy and service provision are included, helping you consider accessibility, consent, privacy, risk and person-centred support when technology is introduced.

Designed for flexible online learning, Training Excellence makes professional development easier with accessible course content, 24/7 support and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Also, after completing the course, you will get a Free Digital Certificate. The course can help you build knowledge for health and social care settings while fitting learning around your commitments.
