To learn more about Assistive Technology devices, please visit https://techable.enablingvillage.sg. Alternatively, you may email us at [email protected]. Tech Able is about universal design and assistive technology. An assessment centre, an assistive device library, a smart home/office technology showcase and an event space, Tech Able aims to promote and share trends, pointers and resources on assistive technology innovations, universally designed products and accessible services. Assistive technology lowers barriers for persons with disabilities to live well, work, learn and play. This covers a wide range of available solutions, from specialised technologies, to mainstream technologies; from no/low tech to high tech; from affordable solutions to sophisticated high end devices. Assistive technology enables greater independence by enabling people to perform tasks and promotes social inclusion and equality for all. It is not conceived as an effort to advance a single solution for everybody, but as a user-centred approach to providing products that can address the possible range of human abilities, skills, requirements and preferences.
