Robots, 3-D printers, smart phones… These technologies have come a long way in recent years.

And this progress can change disabled people’s lives!

Which inventions in particular?

A simple example: there’s an app for sharing info about accessing public places in a wheelchair.

The community shares good tips and warns other users if a place is not “wheelchair friendly”.

There are also applications that can record and write down conversations for those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
