• Assistive technology can help
students access their education, as
well as enable adults to secure a
job. Individuals with disabilities can
become an integral part or their
community - from education to
leisure activities to work - with the
appropriate technology.
• Assistive Technology devices
are tools to help to overcome
those challenges and enable
people living with disabilities
to enhance their quality of life
and lead more independent
lives.
 For greater independence of mobility
and travel, people with physical
disabilities may use mobility aids,
such as wheelchairs, scooters, and
walkers. Adapted car seats and vehicle
wheelchair restraints promote safe
travel.
 Hand-held GPS (global
positioning system) devices
help persons with visual
impairments navigate busy
city streets and use public
transportation.
 Building modifications at work
sites, such as ramps, automatic
door openers, grab bars, and
wider doorways mean fewer
barriers to employment,
businesses, and community
spaces, such as libraries,
churches, and shopping malls.
 Special computer software and
hardware, such as voice
recognition programs and screen
enlargement programs, enable
persons with mobility and
sensory impairments to carry out
educational or work-related
tasks.
 Education and work aids
such as automatic page
turners, book holders, and
adapted pencil grips enable
children to participate in
classroom activities.
 Bowling balls with hand-grips
and one-handed fishing reels are
a few examples of how
technology can be adapted for
sporting activities. Light-weight
wheelchairs have been designed
for organized sports, such as
basketball, tennis, and racing.
 Adaptive switches
make it possible for a
child with limited motor
skills to play with toys
and games.
 Accessibly designed
movie theaters provide
closed captioning and
audio description for
moviegoers with hearing
and visual difficulties.
 Devices to assist a person with daily living
tasks, such as cooking, dressing, and
grooming, are available for people with
special needs. For example, a medication
dispenser with an alarm can be set to
remind a child to take daily medication. A
person with use of only one hand can use
a one-handed cutting board and a cabinet
mounted can opener to cook meals with
improved independence and safety.
