Assistive technology (AT) is used to improve the functionality of persons with disabilities and may include software programs, equipment, or adaptations to systems.
Mobility aids, or ambulatory devices, are a type of assistive technology that specifically assists with movement.
When principles of Universal Design are followed, spaces are designed to be accessible and easily navigated by all people with no adaptations.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides guidelines for creating curriculum, including supplementary materials, assessments, and teaching methods, that provide equal opportunities to learn.
