Many people who learn and think differently use tools to help them work around their challenges. These tools are called Assistive Technology or AT. The term AT refers to any device or software that helps a person with a disability do something they cannot do on their own. People use AT at home, in schools and on the job. For example, a student with a visual impairment might use a slant board to assist with writing or a talking calculator when working on math. In the classroom, a student with a motor impairment might use flexible furniture or an exercise ball to improve gross motor movement. Students with speech disabilities benefit from assistive technologies that support communication such as a stuttering app, voice-to-text programs and word prediction software.
Market Dynamics:
The global population is aging and the demand for assistive technologies to assist the geriatric population is rising. Mobility aids, hearing aids, and vision enhancement devices help older individuals maintain their independence and quality of life through the use of assistive technology.
However, cost is a significant market constraint for AT. Numerous AT solutions, such as sophisticated prosthetics, communication devices, and mobility aids, can be costly, making them unaffordable for some people with disabilities. The costly development and manufacturing costs of AT devices contribute to their inflated prices. Insufficient insurance coverage and a lack of funding options further impede access to assistive technology.
