Assistive Technology


A great definition of Assistive Technology is that it is “technology used by individuals with disabilities in order to perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible” (AccessIt, 2012).  It can include mobility devices as well as hardware and software.  Children that cannot verbally communicate need help to do so.  Assistive technology can help these children have a voice.  The technology necessary to allow them to communicate can be found in high-tech Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices.
