Mobility
Mobility aids are assistive technologies designed to work in place of a keyboard or mouse to make computers accessible for individuals with physical limitations due to Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s Disease, paralysis, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, head injury or loss of a limb.

Head tracking and eye control systems measure head or eye positions and directly translate their movement into mouse movements. A quick nod of the head or blink of the eye and individuals with mobility challenges can navigate a computer completely hands free.
|
Voice recognition software gives users complete control over their computer through dictation. Simple voice commands enable anyone to navigate the internet, write a paper or even craft and send an email without the use of a keyboard or mouse.
|
These products allow for remote control of electronic devices in a person's immediate surroundings. A person can independently turn lights, radio, and television on and off, answer or initiate phone calls, and unlock a door. Essentially any aspect of the environment can be controlled depending upon the system's complexity.
|
Virtual keyboards provide an alternative input mechanism for users with disabilities who cannot use a physical keyboard. Another major use for an on-screen keyboard is for bi- or multi-lingual users who switch frequently between different character sets or alphabets.
|
Other input devices are microphones, headsets and digital voice
recorders that compliment our existing line of mobility products. Each
device that we evaluate is run through multiple tests to determine
compatibility with our products and ensure the greatest success when
paired with our Assistive Technologies.
