Abstract

Corporeal inefficiency debars disabled individuals from participating actively in societal development. This study confers a central position on disabled people while allocating a peripheral position to the non-disabled. Disability studies is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the social, political, and cultural interpretation of disability. In contemporary times, we can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist disabled identities lead better lives. These assistive tools are not only user-friendly but also help in creating an unmatched user experience. Assistive technology enhances the engineering of mobility, rehabilitation, education, welfare, and other facilities. Machine learning and telecare products enable people to come out of their homes and contribute to nation-building. In the process, this reduces dependence and fosters self-confidence in oneself. Prostheses, memory aids, wheelchairs, spectacles, hearing aids, etc. are some of the assistive technological apparatuses that make the lives of many disabled individuals easier and better.
