Why Mounting Matters


Many people who need a communication device just think about the actual piece of equipment and what features they need e.g. the language or symbol system, the access options, the size and weight of the device etc. What is often overlooked is RELIABLE, REPEATABLE and RUGGED support of the technology whilst being used on mobility aids is just as important as the technology itself.  A thoroughly considered and appropriate Mounting solution positions the technology so that access to the equipment is guaranteed each and every time it’s required. If you can’t reach to press the buttons or screen, the device is moving about, or the eye gaze system can’t track your eyes then it makes it very difficult to use the device to communicate.

RELIABILITY

For access to technology to be assured, the Mount must be made to .

REPEATABILITY

For access to technology to be assured, the Mount must be able to support the technology in the best position for access each and every time.

RUGGEDNESS

For access to technology to be assured, the Mount must be able to support the technology in the best position for access each and every time.

“Made-for-Purpose” or “Re-purposed”

For access to technology to be assured, the Mount must be able to support the technology in the best position for access each and every time.

The Importance of Mounting - "Three Rs"

In order for a speech generating device, tablet or any other piece of technology to be accessible, safe and secure, the “support system” or Mount must have certain aspects included in it’s design.

 

Repeatability

A fitted mount supports a person’s technology for maximum accessibility. When a mount is moved and then replaced, the repeatability of that positioning is what makes access to the AT or AAC system possible at all times.

Reliability

An effective wheelchair mount also ensures the technology being mounted always remains safe whilst on the go and when stationary. This reduces the risk of damage from drops, knocks or falls.

Ruggedness

Mounts need to be built over many different environments where it will be needed, which requires them to be constructed from materials. This makes sure they are fit for such purposes for as long as the need is required.
