In both cases, the focus is on matching individuals with the tools best suited to fill their needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA part of Greenwood's \u003cb\u003eHealth and Medical Issues Today\u003c\/b\u003e series, \u003ci\u003eAssistive Technology for People with Disabilities\u003c\/i\u003e explores what technologies are available to individuals with disabilities, what they can help them to accomplish, and potential hurdles to their use that must be overcome.
