Dr. Amy Hassett:

Assistive technology is important. A huge barrier to assistive technology in the workplace is accessing these supports. There are schemes in place. Often, however, if a person transitions from one workplace to another, their supports do not transfer with them and they have to reapply. A huge aspect in the context of work and disabled people is the barrier to moving up the career ladder and earning more money. Another major challenge is moving supports from one entity to another.
