Abstract
This chapter examines the critical role of assistive technology in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by providing tools that promote independence and inclusivity. It categorizes assistive technologies into mobility aids, communication devices, cognitive assistance tools, and environmental control systems, highlighting their practical applications in daily life, education, and healthcare. The chapter also discusses the evolution of these technologies, from basic mobility aids to advanced digital solutions, and emphasizes the transformative impact of artificial intelligence in improving functionality and user experience. Factors influencing the adoption of assistive technologies, such as cost, accessibility, user preferences, and cultural attitudes, are explored, underscoring the need for ongoing research and innovation to ensure equitable access and support for all users.
