Assistive technologies (ATs) are nothing short of revolutionary. They serve the crucial purpose of enhancing the functional capabilities of individuals living with disabilities, bridging the gap between limitations and opportunities.

Assistive technologies are tailored to address a multitude of needs, each designed with the aim of fostering independence and accessibility for individuals with disabilities. From low-tech aids like walking canes and magnifiers to high-tech advancements such as brain-computer interfaces and advanced prosthetics, these innovations significantly enhance the quality of life for those who use them.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) defines assistive technology as encompassing equipment, technology, and devices specifically engineered to support individuals in tasks they might find challenging due to their disabilities. These tools not only enable them to perform tasks they otherwise couldn't but also make daily activities more manageable and safer.
