What Happens?
At our premises in the Assessment room, after an initial conversation and reading
any recommendations made by a psychologist, therapist or teacher, a member of trained
staff will commence testing your performance using relevant technologies.
- We listen to the client’s (or their guardian’s) ideas and aspirations.
- We assign relevant tests to determine current capabilities.
- We select a range of technologies
- We observe expected outcomes from using the various technologies.
- Our skills in general IT and programming allow us to customize or design bespoke
applications if the most suitable application is not available.
- We will prepare a full report which will include the following:
- Observations on the capabilities and desires of the client
- Details on technologies tested and their outcomes
- Recommendations on technologies - including costings
- Recommendation on the how to deploy those technologies in the desired environments.
- Recommendation and explanation on Training.
On-site technical assessments - can be arranged if you cannot travel to EasyPC.
With the increase in RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) & the financial assistance provided
by FAS, an assessment can detail your current needs & possible solutions.
Technical Assessments for Work - normally carried out on individuals who may be suffering
from some form of disability.
Typically, these disabilities could range from dyslexia, RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury),
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, WRULD (Work Related Upper Limb Disorder) or other disabilities
that make using computer equipment (i.e. a PC) difficult, painful or unproductive.
