A Guide to Assistive Devices & Adaptive Tech for People With Disabilities

Assistive technology devices help people with disabilities achieve their goals. Individuals with disabilities use assistive technology products to do activities they can’t do on their own. People of a wide range of ages and abilities count on these tools to make the world around them more accessible and comfortable. A person with a disability can find greater independence with an assistive device that lets them participate in their lives the way they want.

Most people buy assistive technology with a purpose in mind. They have a goal they want to reach, and the device will help them reach it. Just as we all have different abilities, we all have unique goals. Assistive devices serve a variety of uses, enabling people to complete tasks like:

  • Communicating
  • Playing
  • Moving
  • Hearing
  • Seeing
  • Paying attention
  • Calming down
  • Developing language or motor skills
  • Expressing ideas
  • Driving
  • Reading
  • Eating
  • Grasping items
  • Taking care of themselves
  • Preparing food
  • Getting dressed and undressed

While one person may need a device for only one of these tasks, someone else may need assistive technology for more than one activity. Assistive technology products can enable a single action or many at once. Someone with a disability might need their device every now and then, or they might bring it with them everywhere they go.

At Enabling Devices, we help people with disabilities live fulfilling lives by providing products that make the impossible possible.

What Is the Difference Between Assistive Devices and Adaptive Devices?

When researching assistive technology, you may see the terms “assistive device” and “adaptive device” used interchangeably. While all adaptive devices are assistive devices, not all assistive devices are adaptive devices. In particular:

  • An assistive deviceΒ is any product that helps people with disabilities achieve their goals. These tools include wheelchairs, wheelchair mounts, communication devices, and much more.
  • An adaptive deviceΒ is a type of assistive device created to make an existing technology accessible. Braille, screen reader software and switch-adapted products all count as adaptive devices.

In other words, “assistive device” is a category of products, and “adaptive device” is a subcategory. They both improve peoples’ lives by giving them the tools needed for success.

At Enabling Devices, we offer both assistive and adaptive devices to our customers. We want to give each individual the solutions they need to thrive. To accomplish this mission, we develop custom devices for customers who can’t find the right fit. If you can’t find an assistive or adaptive device for your disability, don’t hesitate to contact us. We specialize in customization and development of new products for unmet needs, call our Product Development Team at (800) 832-8697 to learn more.

Offering the Largest Selection of Assistive Devices for More Than 40 Years

Everyone has unique abilities that don’t always fit into a single category. Yet so many assistive device companies have only one or two types of products, perhaps only selling communicators or toys. However, we don’t think such a small selection covers everyone’s needs.

Since 1978, we have been creating assistive devices to better the lives of individuals with special needs, and we do the same today.

We are committed to offering items for anyone looking for affordable technology to assist a person with a disability.
