This presentation will delve into the pivotal role of assistive technologies in fostering independence for individuals following catastrophic events resulting in cervical spinal cord injuries, complex multi-traumas, and other acquired neurologic conditions. Consequently, individuals often rely on external assistance for completion of fundamental tasks, with engagement in personal entertainment, and overall safety. The primary focus of this presentation is to provide a comprehensive review of commonly recommended assistive technologies and built in accessibility features in personal devices to increase an individual’s independence, safety, communication, and engagement in previously enjoyed occupations. This session will outline data collected since April 2023, depicting recommended devices by common injury levels and estimated prices. The goal of this presentation is to inform, equip, and empower other professionals by ensuring a nuanced understanding of patient goals and the assistive technologies vital for reclaiming independence post-injury.
