How the project supports beneficiaries

Long-term collaborative approach

Through this long-term collaborative approach, the Foundation supports the procurement and accessibility of AT and AAC devices on an ongoing basis to ensure sustainable and meaningful support for beneficiaries and their families.

Assistive Technology (AT) Devices

Assistive Technology devices support individuals who are visually impaired by improving access to educational resources and the general curriculum.

These tools help students engage with books, handouts, diagrams, maps, and digital learning materials, while also supporting visual stimulation and development where appropriate.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices

AAC devices provide essential communication support for individuals who are non-verbal or who experience complex communication challenges, helping them express themselves, interact socially, and participate more confidently in everyday life.

Referral process
  • The referral process for visually impaired beneficiaries is coordinated in collaboration with the Department of Education.
  • Assessments and recommendations for individuals on the autism spectrum and those with communication needs are carried out by specialised professionals .
Inclusion, Accessibility, Participation & Equal and Equitable Opportunities

  • The project promotes inclusion, accessibility, participation, equal and equitable opportunities by enabling beneficiaries to communicate more effectively, access education, strengthen independence, and participate more actively within their family, school, and community environments.
