The potential benefits of mobile devices and Apps for people with disabilities

I am always conscious about sensationalising technology and giving the impression that it is “the cure”. Technology is a fantastic tool for some people with disabilities and can make a huge difference to them and their lives. However, people need to remember that it is not a one size fits all approach. Some people with disabilities just do not like technology or may find it more of a hindrance than a help. This is the exact reason that it is essential to get an assessment done prior to purchasing any mobile device for a person with a disability. The assessment will show you whether or not someone is suitable to use this technology and if so, what device suits them best.
