Motor Nerone Disease

Assistive technology that supports independence, safety and comfort throughout every stage of MND.

How Assistive Technology Restores Control and Independence

Assistive technology can make everyday life easier for people living with MND. As abilities change, the right systems can help clients remain in control of their home, reduce physical strain, and support independence for as long as possible.

With the right AT, clients can:

  • Control lighting, heating, blinds and entertainment independently

  • Answer doors, manage visitors and communicate hands-free

  • Move from voice control to eye gaze or switch access as speech or mobility changes

  • Reduce reliance on carers for simple tasks

  • Improve comfort, safety and day-to-day routines

  • Maintain dignity and choice within their own home

Understanding MND and How Assistive Technology Helps

Motor Neurone Disease causes progressive changes to mobility, hand function, speech and energy levels. Over time, tasks that were once simple — turning on a light, adjusting heating, answering the door, or changing the TV — can become tiring or physically impossible without support.

Assistive technology bridges this gap by giving clients practical, everyday control over their home environment. It reduces the physical effort required to manage daily routines and adapts as abilities change.

With the right system in place, people with MND can:

  • Control their home without physical effort using voice, eye gaze or switches

  • Answer doors and manage visitors independently

  • Adjust lighting, heating, blinds and media from anywhere in the room

  • Maintain comfort and safety through automated routines and monitoring

  • Reduce reliance on carers for simple, repetitive tasks

  • Retain choice, dignity and independence as the condition progresses

Assistive technology doesn’t stop the progression of MND — but it preserves independence for as long as possible, and ensures the home remains easy, safe and empowering to live in.
