David is a lead hand supervisor at a post-secondary institution in Kelowna. He is in charge of a wide variety of tasks on campus from event set-up to installing whiteboards to snow removal.

David has suffered from hearing loss since he was born. This can make many parts of his job, which requires a lot of communication with college staff, a lot tougher.

A friend recommended he check out WorkBC Assistive Technology Services.

Through the program, David received a new set of hearing aids.

“It has made a big difference in hearing. Both ears are good — equal hearing. I now am a lot more comfortable being in meetings when there are a lot of people in meetings and to respond quickly and to perform in a professional way,” he says.

David notes the staff “were very helpful,” and he “truly would” recommend WorkBC Assistive Technology Services to others.

“I am truly impressed with their communication with helping out client requests,” he says. “They made a big difference in helping me to perform on my job duties.”

WorkBC Assistive Technology Services is operated by Neil Squire. Assistive Technology Services are available to individuals who have a work-related barrier due to a disability or a functional limitation. This may include barriers related to traveling to and from the workplace.
