Using Assistive Technologies

Using Assistive Technologies

To the person who only knows how a hammer works, every problem is some kind of nail. This is to say, getting the right tool can make the difference between a successful task and a smashed-up effort. Since you can't always get it all done with a blunt object, it pays to know what else is available. In the experience of people who are paralyzed, the tools are called assistive technology.
