Today, we celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), a day dedicated to raising awareness about digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities. At Aventido, we are committed to promoting accessibility through innovative assistive technology that transforms the daily lives of individuals. According to the World Health Organisation, over one billion people live with some form of disability, highlighting the crucial need for accessible solutions.
The Role of Assistive Technology
Assistive technology encompasses a wide range of software and devices designed to support individuals with disabilities in overcoming barriers. These tools not only enhance independence but also ensure equal opportunities for success. Studies, including those published by the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center for Wireless Technologies, have shown that assistive technology can improve the quality of life for 70% of users by providing them with greater autonomy and improved functionality.
