My experience at Neil Squire was nothing short of amazing and an experience that will have many long-term impacts on the rest of my professional career. Neil Squire Society is a nonprofit organization that specializes in employability programs for people with disabilities, assistive technology supports, and various other courses to help people with disabilities develop professional skills. Over the past semester, I had the opportunity to work as an assistive technology fieldwork student and my main responsibility was to assist clients with overcoming their workplace/home barriers through the use of technology or ergonomic supports. I had the pleasure of meeting many different people and dealing with clients with a wide array of complex experiences. I would research supports on behalf of the client after an assessment we do with them, and further discuss options with them to see what works best with them and their needs. I also had the chance to work in the makers making change department, which is a specialized department at Neil Squire that produces specialized supports for clients using 3D printing technology. In this department, we are able to make special items that fit exactly to the needs of our client by making a unique design that works for them, and 3D printing it, then assembling it thereafter. These can be things such as key turners, cup holders, sip and puff machines and more. What amazed me the most about Neil Squire Society is their level of innovation and the different approach they take to dealing with clients with disabilities and assessing their needs. Their forward-thinking application of technology in their support system has proven to be very useful for many clients already and will continue to be so as we progress further into a technological world. 540 Assessment and Support Program- At Neil Squire we do assessments for clients with many or very complex barriers that require lots of supports, some of which are really expensive. The support budget is higher for 540 clients and it requires me to do a full detailed initial assessment on the client, research supports for the client, discuss support options with the client, get financial approval for the supports I think the client may benefit from, then ultimately order them and deliver them to the client.
Quote example from previous student
“Helping people overcome their barriers comes with a level of fulfilment that is unmatched to anything else.”
And instead of the makers making change part I also had the chance to work in the makers making change department, which is a specialized department at Neil Squire that produces specialized supports for clients using 3D printing technology. In this department, we are able to make special items that fit exactly to the needs of our client by making a unique design that works for them, and 3D printing it, then assembling it thereafter.
