We support people of all ages with a physical disability to operate a range of equipment or devices.

Environmental Control Systems can help with:

  • Communication: telephones, pagers
  • Comfort: lamps, fans
  • Entertainment: TV, radio, DVD players
  • Home control: Electric doors/windows (if fitted), door release, intercoms
  • Computer access

You can control equipment in different ways:

  • Switches: use any controllable body movement
  • Voice control: use your voice
  • Direct access: use special keypads

These can help reduce the impact of an injury or health condition. It can also help you stay safe and more independent.

The service includes:

  • A visit to learn about your needs, normally at your home
  • Supply of suitable equipment
  • On-going service and repair
  • Review and re-check if needed
