Assistive technology can any type
of technology that is designed to help people live there life’s to the fullest potential
possible. For example someone with an intellectual disability may require
assistive technology to assist them with typing or reading text books.
Assistive technology comes in two different forms of technology such as high
and low technology. High technology is for the most part computer passed or
software for example: Google scribe helps people read what’s written on
internet sites and emails. Low technology can be low cost technology that helps
to support people in their lives for example: a pencil grip or a ipad.
Yes it is amazing how many types of assistive technology devices are available to help individuals who have difficulties in different areas . I did not realize the enormous amounts of devices on the market today to assist individuals with everyday tasks that we take for granted. It is nice to see that inclusion is becoming easier and more accepted by the community. Everyone deserves to have the best quality of life that is possible. The opportunities are endless. We must keep moving forward
