"High-Tech" Assistive Technology tools help people to perform tasks independently that they would otherwise need help with, or not be able to perform at all. Some examples include a "sip and puff" gives access to people who can't use their hands to control a vast array of things such as computers. In the below picture a woman uses a sip and puff to steer her boat. Computer tablets, such as the iPad, provide a large choice of apps to help students with Autism, support talking books for students with Dyslexia, etc. Other high tech AT devices include computer screen magnifiers for the visually impaired, and cochlear devices for the hearing impaired. The list for high tech AT can go on forever.
