Open in Job ExplorerWhat the work can involve
Assistive technologist work links disability support, learning needs and practical technology setup. The role may assess barriers, recommend tools, train learners or staff, document adjustments and keep assistive software or devices usable.
Skills and specializations
Useful depth includes text-to-speech, screen readers, dictation, prediction tools, physical access devices, learning needs analysis and privacy handling. Some roles also support education programmes, budgets or specialist instruction for students with additional needs.
Salary context
Pay discussions often depend on whether the role is mainly hands-on support, formal assessment, staff training, technology administration or programme coordination across several learning sites.
