According to the census 2011, 2.68 crore people were recorded as differently-abled in a nation of population 121 crore. Also, out of the total number of differently-abled people, 45 percent are uneducated and the majority of them lives in rural areas. These people find it difficult to complete their higher education and learn professional skills which can help them get a job. Another reason is the lack of facilities and educational programs where differently-abled people can learn at their own pace. But now, the scenario is changing and technology has emerged as a boon for the differently-abled people. Not only technology has helped the differently-abled people acquire professional skills but it has also improved the ways of communication with the specially-abled people.
Assistive technology helps differently-abled people improving their lifestyle by working on their weaknesses and making them more efficient and productive.
