Assistive Technologies
Assistive technologies are tools and devices designed to help individuals with disabilities perform tasks that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. These technologies can range from simple items like magnifying glasses to more complex systems such as screen readers and speech recognition software. They aim to enhance the quality of life and promote independence for users.
These technologies can be used in various settings, including homes, schools, and workplaces. Examples include wheelchairs, hearing aids, and communication boards. By providing support, assistive technologies enable individuals to participate more fully in everyday activities and improve their overall well-being.
