Rehabilitation Technology
What is the Rehabilitation Technology Program
People empowered through the use of computers and electronics.
This program, in combination with the New Brunswick Easter Seals’ Assistive Technology Lending Bank, was established to provide trial equipment and evaluation tools, for client assessment purposes, to various education and health-care professionals such as Occupational Therapists, Methods & Resource Teachers, Speech & Language Pathologists, etc.
The Rehabilitation Technology Program is responsible for purchasing, installing, tracking, maintaining and servicing assistive technology equipment owned by the Department of Education and le Ministère de l’Éducation de Nouveau-Brunswick. This program allows all students with exceptionalities to receive necessary rehabilitative aids and specialized electronics like voice output communication devices, environmental controls, alternative computer access methods, literacy tools and software systems, and will also, upon request, provide consultation services and training support to any school in the province.
How it Works
For those disabled persons wishing to access the assistive technology assessment bank, and who do not take part in the public school system here in New Brunswick, may have equipment loaned to them for a period of three weeks and are asked to pay a nominal fee of thirty-six dollars to help keep the program running as effectively as possible.
