Assistive technology is a term for assistive, adaptive, and
rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and the

complete. Assistive technology can address many safety
needs that are brought up by those who know and care for
people with disabilities. Addressing these needs with
technology offers greater autonomy for those needing the
technology supports.
