Assistive Technology is “about
the inclusion of people with
disabilities in every aspect of
society and how technology
can serve as a tool to
facilitate that process”. 
(ATA, 1994)

Assistive Technology is “Magic”...it describes the sense of empowerment that results from being able to do something you had believed was impossible”. (Male, 1993)
