Assistive Technologies are devices for people with disabilities to enable them to do tasks that they would normally do without their disabilities. This helps them with tasks that they would otherwise not be able or would have difficulty to perform without the help of this technology. Some examples of Assistive Technologies are;
1) TTY- A communication device similar that sends text rather than voice for the deaf
2) Kurzweil Reader- A device created for a small machine to read text that the blind would otherwise not be able to read.
3) Larger text keyboards- Keyboards for the seeing impaired
4) Spell checkers and grammar checkers- This is assistive technology for those without good grammar and spelling
5) Brail Text- For those who cannot see and are unable to read this helps them to feel text rather than seeing it
