This page is intended to help visitors explore assistive technology products, equipment, accessories, books, educational materials, and related resources as they consider options for communication, mobility, learning, and daily living.
Assistive technology needs vary a great deal from person to person. A product that works well for one person may not work for someone else, even with a similar diagnosis or goal. The products and resources described on this page are educational information, not personalized recommendations. Inclusion on this page does not establish that a product is suitable for any particular individual.
For equipment decisions involving significant access, communication, positioning, educational, or functional needs, an assessment by an appropriate professional can help match a device or strategy to the person who will use it (see AT Assessment & Selection, or AssistiveTechnologyEvaluations.org for a fuller look at the evaluation process). This is not required for every ordinary consumer purchase, and nothing on this page is medical advice or a substitute for individualized evaluation.
For a broader introduction, see Assistive Technology 101. For other guides and pathways, see Resources. For details on paying for these items, see Funding Assistive Technology.
