Technology for Cognitive Delays
People with cognitive disabilities often suffer from physical and sensory limitations. In order to provide a person with the best cognitive
device or tool it is important to consider how well the technology matches the individual’s physical and sensory abilities. Several abilities such as, vision, hearing, tactile sense (ability to feel and touch buttons), fine motor control (ability to operate small controls), ability to speak, and coordination with fine motor skills (ability to select a button) should all be considered when finding the best device for an individual.
