For School, I Am Doing a Project on Supportive Devices for People With Disabilities. Can You Help?

Question by shershadow13: For school, I am doing a project on Supportive Devices for people with disabilities. Can you help?
It is necessary for me to include some type of game for my fellow students to participate in. I thought that Pictionary would be fun, but I need some really good advice on how to go about this. Does any have any good ideas? Does anyone know of any good websites that are full of information about supportive devices for disabled people? I would appreciate any help. Thank You!

There’s plenty of websites. But the term you need to use is “assistive technology.”

Also, try “Freedom Scientific” (a major producer of assistive technoloc) and “RERC” (Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers”–a network of about 2 dozen recearch centers around the country).

And the following:

afb.org (American Foundation for the Blind) and
aph.org (American Printing House for the Blind) and
“National Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped”
