Technology & Innovation
Welcome to this week’s episode of The Future of Disability Services on Clare FM.
Assistive technology is an overall term for assistive products and their related systems and services.
Such technology covers low and high-tech tools that help people with disabilities or age-related conditions live independently, participate in society, and access education, employment, and healthcare.
These technologies also play a crucial role in enabling the rights of people with an impairment under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities including access to independent living, education and employment.
Enable Ireland is a national disability services provider supporting children and adults and their families.
The organisation focuses on the delivery of Digital Assistive Technology services as we recognise the huge role technology plays in all our lives.
Siobhán Long is national manager of Enable Ireland’s national assistive technology training service.
