Assistive Technology can be broadly defined as:

Any item, piece of equipment, [software program,] or product system, whether acquired commercially, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. (U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Section 508)
