Solutions for Disability and Special Needs

Assistive technology for special needs — protected, accessible and always ready.

For many adults and children with special needs, assistive technology is life-changing. An iPad or tablet running communication (AAC) and learning apps can give someone a voice, a way to learn, and more independence in everyday life. At Maximise Technology, we help make that technology work in the real world — protected from knocks and spills, positioned within easy reach, and powered wherever the day takes it.

A communication device is only useful when it's working and within reach. Assistive technology tends to go everywhere its user does — to school, to therapy, into the community — where it can be dropped, knocked, mouthed or splashed. The right case, mount and power setup keeps the device reliable, so communication and learning aren't interrupted by a cracked screen or a flat battery.

How we support assistive technology

Rugged, hygienic protection

Rugged and waterproof cases, with hand and shoulder straps, protect AT devices from drops, batting, dribble and spills — and wipe clean for shared and clinical settings.

Access & positioning

Stands, desk mounts and wheelchair mounts place the device within easy reach for communication and switch access, holding it stable through boisterous movement.

Power that keeps communication going

Portable power packs and charging keep AAC and learning apps available all day — because a voice shouldn't run out of battery.

Fleet support for schools & services

Charging stations recharge and update many devices at once, making it easier for schools and services to manage a fleet of assistive-technology devices.
