Robitaille, founder and editor of a web site on disability and assistive technology, uses a conversational style to describe the latest high-tech and low-tech gadgets designed to help disabled people at home and at work, paying special attention to products on the higher end of the technology spectrum. Separate chapters cover technologies for people with visual, hearing, and physical disabilities, cognitive disabilities and learning disorders, and communication disabilities. Types of devices and specific brands are described, with details on features and limitations. There is also information on paying for assistive technology, with an overview of sources such as employers and educational institutions, private and government health insurance, and charitable organizations. In addition to b&w photos of devices on almost every page, the book features interviews with industry and legal experts, and a list of vendors and advocate organizations.
