Assistive Technology Services

Innovations, Inc. can provide enabling solutions to the physically challenged for their desktop PC environment.

New assistive technologies for PCs now enable persons with a wide variety of physical disabilities to achieve the same levels of productivity in computer-based jobs as their non-disabled colleagues.

Assistive Technology (also referred to as "Adaptive Technology") is a collective term for a variety of support devices and related software that includes screen readers, reading and writing systems, magnification devices and applications, voice recognition software, listening and communication systems, and alternate input and output devices such as joysticks, Braille displays, readers and note-takers.

The BC government has recently passed the Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Act. In line with this legislation, the Ministry of Human Resources introduced the Employment Strategy for Persons with Disabilities that focuses on developing a broad range of new skills, training services and employment-related programs to assist persons with disabilities into the labour market and to improve their employment outcomes.
