Assistive devices are tools designed to help individuals with disabilities perform daily activities more easily and independently. These devices can range from simple items like canes and crutches to more complex technologies such as wheelchairs and hearing aids. They aim to enhance mobility, communication, and overall quality of life for users.
These devices are tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals, allowing them to engage in tasks that may otherwise be challenging. For example, adaptive utensils can assist those with limited hand function in eating, while screen readers help visually impaired users access digital content.
