Assistive technologies are devices that have the power to transform lives and opportunities for people with disabilities. They include items such as: an adapted vehicle that someone who uses a wheelchair can drive to go to work; an iPad with specialized applications for an individual who has difficulty talking; a stair glide for a person who has arthritis and cannot walk up stairs and wants to remain at home; a fence and security system for a child who has autism and needs extra security to explore the world and remain safe.
