How Can Technology Help Me?

Technology is a word to describe any equipment, item, or system that can help you do more on your own. Some examples of technology are:

• a hearing aid
• a power wheelchair
• a screen reader
• an iPad or computer
• a smart phone

You and your team can get creative when using technology as a work support. Some technology is free or low cost and some are more expensive. Some technology is easy to use and some will take training or help.

It is important to know what technology will help you. If you have an Occupational Therapist or Speech Therapist, they can help you to think about and use technology. If you would like to learn more about technology, talk about it with your team.
