What is Assistive Technology (AT)?
Assistive technology is any device or
process that assists a person with a
disability to do something that could
otherwise be difficult or impossible to
accomplish.

AT can range from extremely low tech to
highly complicated and costly technology.
Reading glasses to High Tech
Communication devices.
Not all AT however is hardware. Anyone
with access to a computer can install any number of programs to help
with a disability. The amazing aspect is that a number of these
programs can help anyone – coming closer to the “Holy Grail” of
UD (Universal Design).
We'll be looking at some of the free
and/or open source software over the next few blogs.
