Abstract

Assistive technology has dramatically changed the lives of individuals with disabilities, that is, from care reliance to independence. The presenter will discuss the definition of assistive technology and the different categories of assistive technology devices that can be used by individuals with disabilities for communication, control of environment, mobility, seating, and daily living. Hands-on demonstration and information on some assistive technology devices will be provided.
