Top Assistive Technology for 2019 - from Segway to Lamborghini!

Assistive Technology (AT) allows a person to become independent in the home, school, and community. AT has great benefits for people with disabilities. In the UK, it is thought that some seven million people of working age have a disability, which all adds up to an awful lot of spending power. This is known as the "purple pound" and is reckoned to be worth around £249bn to the economy.
