Government Grant FAQs
Assistive technology is any tool, software, or device that helps people with disabilities, neurodivergent conditions, or mental health needs to learn, work, and communicate more effectively. It includes things like text to speech software, reading support tools, and writing aids.
Assistive technology can help neurodivergent people manage the challenges that come with conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and dyspraxia. Tools can support reading, writing, organisation, focus, and communication, making it easier to engage with work or study in a way that suits how your mind works.
You do not always need a formal diagnosis. For DSA, you will need evidence of your condition, which can include a letter from your GP or a professional assessment. For Access to Work, you can apply if your condition affects your ability to do your job, regardless of whether you have a formal diagnosis. We recommend checking the latest eligibility guidance for each scheme.
