Assist Pediatrics with Assistive Technology

Individuals, especially children born with certain disabilities, have specific health care needs that allow them to not just learn but stay at par with other children in terms of education and comprehension. A number of rehabilitative services are being made available to such a segment and Pediatric Assistive Technology is a crucial aspect of it. As some of you may know, assistive technology relates to the development and use of any product that aids in increasing or improving the functional abilities of individuals having disabilities.

Despite the fact that a significant number of advancements have been carried out in assistive technology services, lack of information and awareness prohibits specialized tools to reach the consumers. This is even more appalling considering that the number of people using assistive technology has increased by nearly 50% since the year 1992.  Therefore, there is a growing need to make the individuals with disabilities aware of the assistive technology services that are available in the market so that more of them can benefit from these assistive devices.

At Rehabmart, it is our continuous endeavor to ensure the availability of the best assistive technology products as they are developed. The following three products are specifically designed to help individuals make the most of their learning skills.

      Bookworm Switch-Adaptable Audiobook Creator: A revolutionary product, Bookworm transforms any book in your library into a switch-adapted audio book.  Its most striking feature is that you can lend your voice to the contents of any book which a toddler or child can listen to anytime. In such a fashion, you can create an entire library of audio books. Equipped with a built-in SD memory card, an LCD screen that displays all the functions, a single switch operation, external headphone jack and much more, Bookworm is still one of the most affordable devices in its segment. Not just limited to children with autism, this audio book creator is also great for individuals with other disabilities. So expose your child to limitless possibilities of literary experiences with the Bookworm Switch-Adaptable Audio book Creator.

       Hands Free Mouse: This is an alternative to an actual computer mouse that allows complete control over a computer.  By naturally moving one's head, a person can accurately left click, right click, double click, and drag. The package includes an On-screen Keyboard which allows you to type on your computer. It also has a double Y jack for using one or two of your own capability switches if needed.

       Assistive Technology Adapted Digital Camera: This is a three-in-one device containing photos, movies, and games. This sophisticated camera is mounted on a unique power-driven platform that can tilt up and down and pan left or right to frame your picture before shooting. The motorized platform pedestal has 3 adjustable feet to level the camera. The panning and tilting function is controlled by the 5 inch orange disc on your black controller center. Use the buttons on the control panel to turn the camera on and to take your picture. This camera also takes movies and downloads easily to your PC. It has 2.0 Mega Pixels, 256 MB memory, 2x digital zoom, SD memory card slot for memory expansion, and a photo editing program on CD-Rom. The power-driven platform can be mounted on any size tripod (sold separately) by simply screwing the base on the tripod just like any other camera.
