Assistive technologies provide disabled people with the necessary tools to remove barriers to education and work.
Autistic or dyslexic people, for example, may require the use of text to speech when reading.
Blind people may use a screen reader, this software enables all screen content to be read aloud including items that help navigation.
For those who have a hearing impairment they might use captioning. Captioning provides written words on screen. Captions allow viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing to follow the dialogue and the action of a program simultaneously.
You may have a motor impairment that restricts, for example, the movement in your hands but is overcome by AT allowing you to speak into your device.
If you are an older adult, you may experience a combination of different impairments, this is where AT enables everyone to be included by removing the barriers in education or at work.
