Accessibility technologies

Accessibility technologies refer to technical aids, software solutions or digital adaptations designed to enable people with disabilities or chronic illnesses to participate equally in society, particularly in education, work and everyday life. These include, for example, FM systems/induction loops or hearing systems (which can be installed directly in rooms), screen-reading programmes, magnification software, alternative input devices, sign language avatars, accessible web design tools or automatic subtitling. These technologies often complement individual assistive devices and are designed to break down barriers in digital, physical or communicative environments.
