Question

Explain how using assistive technology can promote healthy emotional and social development. Discuss how you think young children and teens may be affected and how the affects may extend into adult life.

Answer 1

Well Assistive technology is technology used by individuals with disabilities in order to perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible for them to do. So I can only think of pros for such a thing. So listing some of the pro’s how how such technology could help a child or teen and how it could change their lives. Like socially helping someone to hear, or be able to communicate with others would be a major improvement to not just their social development but their mental one as well. A happy and healthily child will more times than not grow up being more emotionally healthy than someone who struggled with a medical or emotional impairment as a child. Just list anything that you think would be a positive outcome of assistive technology and how that will impact the lives of those affected.
