Abstract

Assistive technology can be defined as any device or equipment that assists in teaching new skills, augments existing skills, or reduces the impact of disability on daily functioning. Assistive technology is the technology used by people with disabilities to achieve functions that can be difficult or impossible without it. Some examples of using assistive technologies to assist children with disabilities include using robot therapists in intervention and the use of laminated picture cards for communication purposes.
