The Role of Assistive Technology

Assistive technology includes tools and systems that may help people communicate, access information or carry out everyday activities. The right option depends on individual circumstances and preferences.

Different tools for different needs

Examples can include screen readers, magnification tools, captions, visual notifications and communication aids. These examples are educational and are not recommendations for a particular individual.

Choice and suitability

A useful tool should suit the person’s goals, environment and preferred way of working. Accessibility features already available on a device may be useful, while specialist tools may require qualified guidance.

Technology complements accessible design

Technology works best when information and environments are accessible in the first place. A screen reader, for example, depends on meaningful structure and properly labelled controls.

Appropriate professional guidance

Questions about hearing, vision, rehabilitation or individual assistive devices should be directed to appropriately qualified providers. This website does not claim that Audiere supplies devices or clinical assessments.
