Inclusive Technology VS Assistive Technology

What is the difference between inclusive technology and assistive technology?

Inclusive technology makes use of technologies that are used by everyone

Examples: Mobile phones, iPads, laptops,

Why is using these tools an advantage?

Benefits of inclusive technology

If everyone has one, no one knows you are using assistive technology.

If everyone has one, then you don’t need to buy one (or convince someone else to buy it for you).

If everyone has one, then you can communicate with them easily

If everyone has one, then you can get help for it much easier
