ASSISTIVE DIVECE

The terms assistive device or assistive technology can refer to any device that helps a person with hearing loss or a voice, speech, or language disorder to communicate. These terms often refer to devices that help a person to hear and understand what is being said more clearly or to express thoughts more easily. With the development of digital and wireless technologies, more and more devices are becoming available to help people with hearing, voice, speech, and language disorders communicate more meaningfully and participate more fully in their daily lives.( www.nidcd.nih.gov).

...  The following are assistive technology to people with hearing impairment.FM systems use radio signals to transmit amplified sounds. They are often used in classrooms, where the instructor wears a small microphone connected to a transmitter and the student wears the receiver, which is tuned to a specific frequency, or channel. Infrared systems use infrared light to transmit sound. A transmitter converts sound into a light signal and beams it to a receiver that is worn by a listener. The receiver decodes the infrared signal back to sound.Audio Induction Loop: Consists of a microphone, an amplifier, and a length of properly sized wire or cable which encircles the seating area. To pick up the signals, listeners who are deaf and/or hard of hearing must have their hearing aids turned to the “T” (telecoil) switch and sit within or near the loop or encircled seating areaPersonal Amplified System: A personal amplification system that is portable and can be used indoors or outdoors. It is used for one-on-one conversations or TV listening. (www.nidcd.nih.gov)

...  Assistive technology to people with mobility problem
Single-switch access . for people with very limited mobility. For instance, if a person can move only the head, a switch could be placed to the side of the head that would allow the person to click it with head movements. This clicking would then be interpreted using special software.Orthotics. Orthotics are an external support or brace worn or applied to the body e.g. hand splint, lower limb cast, neck support/brace. Some people living with disability will find that the use of othotics will aid them in walking, standing, using their hands more effectively or positioning their body more comfortably.Powered Wheelchairs. People living with cerebral palsy may require assistance with their mobility and need to use powered mobility e.g. a powered wheelchair. Our occupational therapists and seating consultants can explore and discuss with you which powered mobility options would suit your needs.

...Assistive technology to people with cognitive disability
The Time Pad Memo and the Sycom Total Recall. are advanced clocks and alarms that can be programmed to make specific announcements, some at the same time(s) each day of the week. Pagers or beepers that provide voice and text messages can also be used to remind individuals of appointments and chores.Tape recorders may be beneficial in compensating for memory impairment by providing repetition and reinforcement. They have also proven beneficial for individuals who have difficulty prioritizing, problem solving and managing multiple tasks.A computer is a common device that can assist an individual with maintaining attention, planning, task completion, and time management.
