adaptive input devices
Adaptive input devices are specialized tools designed to assist individuals with disabilities in interacting with computers and other technology. These devices can include modified keyboards, touchscreens, and switches that respond to various forms of input, such as voice commands or eye movements. They help users perform tasks that may be challenging due to physical limitations.
These devices are often customizable to meet the specific needs of the user. For example, sip-and-puff switches allow individuals with limited mobility to control a computer by inhaling or exhaling into a straw. Overall, adaptive input devices enhance accessibility and promote independence for users with diverse abilities.
