Adaptive technology is a subset of assistive technology. An example of adaptive technology includes any device or equipment that has been modified from it's original purpose to aid those with disabilities. The Brain Computer Interface technology has been adapted from it's original purpose, hands fre...
Edtech may feel like a modern thing, but it’s actually been around for centuries. The term “technology” refers to any tool created by the application of knowledge. (Chimpanzees who use sticks to “fish” for termitesare using a form of technology.) Early edtech tools included items like...

When you design your apps, consider how they may be used by people with limited mobility, vision, and hearing. Because assistive technology products make extensive use of standard UI, it is particularly important to provide good keyboard and screen-reader support even if you make no other adjust...
With this support, a user wouldn't need a separate assistive technology product interpreting the visual presentation of the program on the screen. Instead, the user would have direct access to that program because it would interact with the user in his/her desired modality....
(shared authority) can be considered to invoke different cognitive processes and—depending on the trigger—approaches the situation of an active-assistive modality. From the device’s perspective, teleoperated passive training (human authority) implies different lower level control strategies. A second ...
The Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0) is a 12-item outcome measure that assesses user satisfaction with two components, Device and Services. Psychometric properties have been tested with respect to test-retest stability, alternate-form equivalence, internal cons...
