What is Assistive Technology?

Assistive Technology (AT) encompasses assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices, empowering individuals with visual impairments to perform tasks they previously found challenging or impossible. For instance, specific software can magnify text, utilise speech output to vocalise screen content, or speech-to-text software that will allow the user to use vocal composition skills, to dictate their narrative[s], promoting greater independence.
