Mobility
Assistive Technology 2015
Toni-Ann Capillo
We often take the ability to walk and to move in and around our own home and community for granted, but for a person with a disability even the smallest step can prevent them from accessing many parts of life. Being mobile enhances a person’s ability to learn, interact with others, earn a living and participate within the community. Advances in assistive technology allow for people with disabilities to partake in many activities, daily routines, and community events. There are a variety of mobility aids and devices that are available to provide support, motion and accessibility for children and people of all ages. Here you will find a variety of resources involving mobility accessibility.
