This support is designed to enhance accessibility by offering personalised reading assistance to NDIS participants. The service or technology is customised to aid individuals with visual or cognitive impairments, learning disabilities, or physical challenges that affect their ability to read.

This support is crucial for facilitating access to printed information in a myriad of settings. This encompasses reading educational materials, personal documentation, and leisure reading. By utilising this support, participants can gain greater independence and equitable access to information. It promotes improved educational outcomes, increased engagement with a variety of texts, and is vital for personal development, informed decision-making, and social inclusion. The Personal Reader service empowers participants with autonomy in consuming information, profoundly enriching their quality of life.
