People who have physical disabilities may need assistance with mobility. Some mobility aids include:

1. Wheelchairs
2. Walkers
3. Crutches
4. Canes
5. Prosthetic Devices

Mobility varies with each person. Some people with a physical disability may be able to walk with the assistance of a cane or a prosthetic. Some people, like those who are quadriplegic, may control their mobility device with their mouth or their head. Examples of assistive technologies that help their users with limited mobility include:

1. Mouth stick - a device that allows users to control input (whether that be moving their wheelchair or surfing the web) with a stick they manipulate with their mouth.
2. Head wand - a device similar to a mouth stick, but users control input with their head instead of their mouth

People with a physical disability may need assistive technology to communicate in person or online. Communication aids can include

Speech Recognition Software: Speech recognition software helps users create text and navigate online by speaking into a microphone. This may be useful for users who have problems with fine motor skills or limited mobility. One example of speech recognition software follows:

Speech generating device: A speech generating device is "a portable that contains one or more panels or switches that when depressed will activate pre-recorded digitized or synthesized speech output." These may be a standalone device, usually very small and light, or it can be software that is installed in a tablet or phone. People with a physical disability may not be able to speak on their own and can use a speech generating device to communicate with the people around them.
