How Technologies are used for Disabilities
- It is crucial in every scenario that all aspects of a person’s cognitive, physical, and sensory capabilities are considered when deciding on an assistive technology tool or device.
· Assistive Technology devices can assist an individual with a cognitive disability to accomplish and
complete a task by using alternative strategies
· An individual who has a cognitive disability as well as poor visual letter recognition but strong verbal
language can use a device that allows speech recognition instead of typing.
· An individual with a cognitive disability that struggles with remembering daily activities and plans can use a personal digital
assistant (PDA) that can be used for daily
planning.
· A software program can be designed in order to accommodate an individual with visual–perceptual or information processing impairments.
