Initial Evaluation
At your first evaluation, our expert rehabilitation team will carefully
analyze your functional ability and discuss your personal objectives.
We work with people who have all ranges of abilities, as well as beginners
to experts in technology. Together, we will help identify the right technology
or combination of technologies for you, whether your goal is to better
communicate, increase your independence, achieve your work or school ambitions,
and/or to improve and ease daily life by making it more efficient. You
will be able to trial these cutting-edge options in technology and assistive
devices in our clinical setting and discover how they can be customized
to your needs.
State-of-the-Art Solutions
Casa Colina brings our clients the most up-to-date products and equipment
to help overcome the challenges brought on by injury or illness. These
include low-tech products such as picture/symbol communication boards,
along with mid-tech options like pre-recorded messages activated with
a button or switch. A growing catalog of high-tech solutions is opening
possibilities for people with disabilities. These include speech-generating
devices, text readers, head tracking technology, eye gaze communication
and control devices, touch screens, and switch access dynamic screens,
