Technology enhances productivity and improves quality of life. For many people with disabilities, technology is critical to functioning independently. It provides people with disabilities access to employment, a wider range of tools to accomplish jobs and greater freedom to live and socialize in settings of their choosing. To support people with disabilities, the federal government has enacted laws to encourage development of, and access to, assistive technology.

This section of DisabilityInfo.gov offers a wide range of information on accessibility, assistive and adaptive technology and laws and regulations related to technology.
