What is Assistive Technology?
Assistive Technology is a catch-all phrase for products, equipment, and systems that enhance learning, working, and daily living for persons with disabilities. Your smartphone is assistive technology! Do you talk to your lights? Assistive technology! Voice text? Yep! Use a wheelchair to get around? That, too!
Assistive Technology is any device that can help increase, maintain, or improve a person’s functional capabilities. Assistive Technology, or AT, can also include things like hearing aids, speech-generating devices, picture boards, social stories, and much more.
PHP AT Specialists host related training and workshops and maintain a variety of AT toolkits available for loan. Click on the links to the left to find out more.
