What is Assistive Technology? 

            For those who may not have heard the term Assistive Technology, Public Law 100-407 defines Assistive Technology as “any item, piece of equipment or product system whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized that is used to increase or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.”  Basically you can give the term Assistive Technology to almost anything that give people with disabilities the ability to do what they wish to.
