Disadvantages and Struggles
Every cognitive disability is different and unique in their own way just as every person is unique and different. People with cognitive disabilities all differ in their needs and wants from an assistive technology device. Therefore, any cognition device must accommodate the user’s skills and
deficits. This can become extremely complicated due to the simple fact that every person is different and there is a large range of cognitive disabilities. Every individual has their own strengths and weaknesses and therefore to create or find the perfect device is a struggle and therefore it is important to assess the user’s skills and needs. It is important to consider the user’s strengths and weakness so that the device isn’t too complex or not age appropriate.
