Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Reduce cognitive load and bring clarity to daily life with the Skylight Digital Calendar. This interactive 38 cm (15-inch) touchscreen display is a crucial piece of assistive technology designed to act as a central hub for routines, appointments, and tasks. It provides a clear, consistent visual anchor for NDIS participants, empowering them to manage their day with greater independence and less anxiety.
For NDIS participants with challenges related to executive function, memory, or sensory processing (common with Autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, or acquired brain injuries), managing a dynamic schedule can be a major source of stress. The Skylight Calendar directly supports these needs by:
Acting as an External Executive Function Aid: It offloads the mental effort of planning, sequencing, and remembering tasks. By displaying the day's structure visually, it helps with task initiation and reduces the anxiety of the unknown, supporting key NDIS goals for capacity building.
Providing Centralised Memory Support: It creates a single, reliable source of truth for the entire household, including support workers. This eliminates confusion from verbal reminders or scattered notes, ensuring critical information like appointments, medication schedules, and therapy sessions is always visible and accessible.
Reducing Anxiety Through Predictability: The clear, easy-to-read display provides a predictable structure to the day. This is essential for individuals who thrive on routine, helping to prevent meltdowns and smooth out transitions between activities.
Clear Visual Hub for the Whole Household: The large 38 cm (15-inch) HD touchscreen is easy to see and interact with. Assigning a unique colour to each person simplifies the schedule at a glance, making it instantly clear who needs to do what, and when.
Seamless Remote Support: Support coordinators, therapists, or family members can use the free mobile app to add events, chores, or appointments to the calendar from anywhere. This ensures the participant always has the most up-to-date information without complex communication.
Builds Independence & Life Skills: The interactive chore chart is more than a to-do list; it's a skill-building tool. It provides a visual way to track tasks, encouraging self-management and building confidence in daily living skills.
Effortless Syncing: The device syncs with major calendars (Google, iCloud, Outlook, Cozi, Yahoo), automatically populating all events and keeping everyone on the same page. Setup is simple: just plug in, connect to Wi-Fi, and sync.
Mount or Stand: Place the calendar on a wall with the included mount or set it on a countertop.
Connect: Plug it in and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
Sync: Link your existing digital calendars through the app or Skylight portal. Your schedule will appear automatically.
