Assistive Technology

Tutorial Seven

Assistive technologies are devices that can improve independence and maintain and improve functional capabilities that make tasks easier and simpler to perform.

One of the assistive tools that I find useful is the time teller which can be used to set thetime in the way that you want to in order to alert the client so they can achieve and finish a particular task at hand.

It is a very economical tool and is quite simple, handy and easy to use.

It is useful especially for autistic children requiring them to finish their task at a specific time and provide independence and responsibility in finishing a task.
