Assistive technology (AT) is an umbrella term that includes assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities. Assistive devices are used by disabled children and teachers for learning. These devices include everything from hearing-aids to glare reduction screens, screen magnifiers and more.
