In this video I describe six different assistive technologies for people with intellectual disabilities. They include (with the specific product highlighted and discussed in parenthesis): online tutorials (the Khan Academy), social media platforms (Hello, It’s Me), alternative augmentative communication devices (Proloquo2Go), indoor navigation apps (Evelity), emergency contact apps (Red Panic Button), and social problem-solving apps (Difficult Situations Fun Deck). These represent only a small selection of the thousands of technologies out there that help people with intellectual disabilities acquire new skills, confront challenges, and work around obstacles in their lives.
