Assitive Technology

   Technology has been improving diferent ways to solve poeple´s trouble; this is the case of Assistive Technology. Assistive Technology is used to help people with physical disabilities create a variety of useful methods, but it has its negative point of view too.

    To star with, one advantage of Assistive Technology may make daily common action easy. Prosthesis help people without extremities to reach things. they could help for drawing, to move from some places to another ones, or it could be used only to be esthetically normal. Another advantage of these technological resources could hepl improve humans health. To be clear with this, people with different skills normally appeal to get esthetical prothesis to feel socially confartable with themselves using their new extremities to do things which they can not do without them.


    But on the other hand, some of these artifacts may be so expensive that low-income people would be not able to get them. In the case of  paralityc folk , they  approximately should pay three hundred dollars for their wheelchair. And in some cases this amount of money is hard to get. another disadvantage for these kind of persons may be that the places they frequent may not be trainned to the same. For example a school without an entrance for disable kids would be not helping them get in the school


    To sum up, Assistive Technologies are being used to help people with disabilities make their daily common activities easier and make them feel socially confortable , but we must ensure that every place we frequently go with this special person are adapted for, and in the case of low income people give them a hand to get that resource they need to make their life easier and more confortable
