Assistive technology refers to the broad range of devices, services, strategies, and practices that are conceived and applied to ameliorate the problems faced by individuals who have disablilties.
(Cook & Hussey, 2000).
Talking Photo Albums are one example of assistive technology. These are very common for people with cognitive/memory impairments such as dementia. They record 10 seconds of audio for each photo. Audio could be naming the people in the photos and the date it was taken.It requires batteries and the audi can be re recorded over as many times as you want. The common size is 4" x 6" and holds 24 photos. They cost round about $16.00 + (NZ).
