Wheelchair Mounts for AAC, Phones, Tablets & Laptops

Mount'n Mover mounting systems are customizable and compatible with iPads and other tablets, laptops, cell phones, AAC devices (including speech devices and eye gaze), and more. Our mounting systems attach to wheelchairs, beds, tables, and floor stands.

Mount'n Mover mounts adapt to your needs. People can customize their device to lock in specific memory positions but can move it easily to do other things. You can change devices in seconds and move it to other positions, for that device.

Other wheelchair mounting systems place one device in one position, allowing a person to do one thing. They help you do that one thing but can get in the way of doing anything else.

Our products and team are flexible. We can mount to anything! Check out our mounts below and find the one that's right for you. Questions? Call us at (888) 724-7002.

Wheelchair Mount for Tobii Dynavox

"It's no big secret that I have been opposed to using communication devices pretty much my whole life-that is, until now. My cerebral palsy affects my speech and mobility, but not my spirit. Although it is difficult for many people to understand my speech, especially before getting to know me, I preferred repeating myself a few times over using a communication device because that was more efficient. There wasn't a communication device that matched my comprehensive vocabulary and my slow typing speed made the process too slow." -- Esther Lee

AI Tech used for empowerment of disabled individuals

# data[].attributes.subject
AI Tech used for empowerment of disabled individuals

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tyler Weitzman, cofounder, President and Head of AI at .
The WHO estimates that more than 2.5 billion disabled people will need one or more assistive technologies in 2030. Yet almost a billion of them can't access these products. Considering how globalization is increasing, this means we are denying an entire community from enjoying the same services as everyone else.

As AI systems have grown in popularity and complexity, however, we are seeing more AI-powered solutions that can help people with mental, physical, visual or hearing impairments perform tasks, both everyday and complex. I believe that by making AI technologies more widely accessible, many businesses can change the lives of individuals with disabilities. Here are four ways businesses using AI technology can empower (or are already empowering) individuals with disabilities.

1. Easing Communication

AI voice technologies, such as Siri, Alexa and Echo, help make communication easier for people with impairments. These programs can describe text and images to people with visual disabilities, and text-to-speech (or vice versa) technologies can help those with brain injuries communicate or understand things more easily. One such app is Google's Parrotron, an AI tool that enables speech-impaired individuals to translate their distorted speech patterns into fluent conversations.

Businesses can utilize these AI tools to create a more inclusive and collaborative work culture that includes employees regardless of their disabilities. By providing these individuals with effective speech transcription tools, business leaders can help them participate equally in collaborative settings and share ideas across departments and teams.

Businesses can also use AI-powered voice technology to improve their customer support. For instance, AI chatbots can help your customer service teams communicate with customers with disabilities, understand their needs more readily, and fulfill them more effectively. This helps create better experiences, which can ultimately lead to higher customer loyalty.

2. Learning Opportunities

Everyone should be able to avail of any service regardless of their disabilities. AI technology can help ensure this inclusivity. For example, just like subtitles let people with hearing impairments understand a movie, braille helps visually impaired individuals read. You can now find AI-powered braille tutor apps on the internet that assist disabled individuals in learning braille and accessing education at different levels. These apps use optical character recognition (OCR) to transform physical braille characters into digital text.

Business leaders can leverage AI-powered solutions to create a continuous learning and development culture. For example, you can implement personalized learning paths to help employees find relevant training courses and materials according to their skills. Moreover, you can use AI tools to provide continuous feedback to employees based on their performance to help them learn from their mistakes.

Leaders can also use AI tools to identify skill gaps within the company, learn about an employee's competencies, and develop targeted training programs to promote upskilling opportunities. There are even options available for using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to offer interactive learning experiences to employees.

I believe it is imperative for businesses to provide employees with disabilities with personalized learning experiences that help them acquire the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in their daily roles. This creates a diverse workforce that empowers everyone. With the proper implementation, businesses can foster a growth-focused mindset in their workforce without discrimination, eventually boosting the bottom line.

3. Promoting An Independent Lifestyle

AI is opening doors for disabled individuals to live independent personal and professional lifestyles. For example, many AI programs help businesses create effective and efficient workflows with virtual assistants like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, which can schedule meetings, set reminders and automate many voice tasks. Business leaders can also integrate AI-powered chatbots into different work-related apps to assist employees in different tasks. Microsoft Bing's integration with Skype is one such example: You can simply ask a question from Bing on Skype, and it will provide an answer immediately.

Other AI tools that can ease workflow include robotic process automation (RPA), which can automate repetitive tasks; AI-integrated recommendation systems, which can be used to retrieve personalized suggestions from data; and AI computer vision applications, which can identify and interpret visual data through object detection, image recognition, facial recognition and quality control. Businesses can also benefit from AI-integrated cybersecurity tools to detect threats proactively and eliminate them in real time.

By utilizing these tools, every employee-including those with disabilities-can streamline manual tasks and free up time to focus on more critical work. This can also help leaders attract and retain diverse talent unhindered by the barriers they might otherwise face.

4. Connection To The Outside World

In this fast-paced, globalized world, it's as important as ever for people to feel connected with each other. Fortunately, AI technology has introduced new ways to help people with disabilities feel linked to their surroundings. For example, Microsoft's Cortana can assist visually impaired individuals in navigating their devices through voice control. Programs like RogerVoice and Ava utilize AI to transcribe group conversations for those with hearing impairments, including punctuation, the sender's name and important words from the user's dictionary.

Businesses can employ these AI-powered virtual assistants to help disabled individuals attend and schedule meetings, answer emails and collaborate with others like everyone else. Translation tools are also available to assist employees who speak different languages in communicating with each other.

Inclusion Regardless Of Ability

People with disabilities have the same right to enjoy life and succeed at their professional goals as everyone else. They should be empowered to work independently, communicate across teams and learn new skills. Fortunately, AI has been helping business leaders enhance accessibility and inclusivity in their workplaces. Consider how you can incorporate some of these tools in your workplace, not only to give your current employees more paths to success but also to attract and retain a talented and diverse employee pool.

Allyant - Simple. Seamless. Accessibility.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
People with disabilities worldwide rely on assistive technology to be as independent as possible in their daily lives. Assistive technology (AT) is defined as "any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of persons with disabilities."

AT can be low or high-tech. Low-tech AT includes simple communication boards and pencil grips and holders. High-tech AT examples are specialized computers, electronic lifts, and mobility devices like power wheelchairs.

This blog post will highlight some of the most widely used AT devices.

Screen readers

Screen readers are some of the most commonly used AT devices relating to Allyant's work in web accessibility. Screen readers are pieces of software that blind and visually impaired people use to navigate the Internet. Screen reading software verbally reads text that is displayed on a digital screen.

Our digital accessibility auditing team uses screen readers daily to assess critical web accessibility issues and to ensure equitable digital experiences for blind and visually impaired users.

The two most common web screen readers are NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access) and JAWS (Job Access With Speech). NVDA is free to download, and JAWS requires a paid license.

Common types of screen readers for mobile devices are VoiceOver for iOS and TalkBack for Android. VoiceOver and TalkBack are built-in screen readers and require no installation.

Screen magnifiers

Screen magnification tools are also commonly used by people with vision impairments. Screen magnification tools enlarge text and graphics on computer screens. Screen magnification software follows the cursor and magnifies the surrounding area, similar to how a magnifying glass works.

Screen magnifiers can also allow users to customize text, such as inverting the colors to make it easier for some users to see. Some screen magnifiers also offer the ability to adjust the cursor size and make other enhancements. Screen magnifiers can also come with built-in screen readers.

A well-known screen magnification tool is ZoomText Magnifier/Reader. ZoomText also has screen reading capabilities. In addition, ZoomText offers cursor, focus, and other screen enhancements to assist users with visual impairments.

Another common tool is Fusion, which is a combination of ZoomText and the JAWS screen reader. Fusion is used as an introduction to screen reading software, as it also uses ZoomText's screen magnification features and is not strictly a screen reader.

Smartphones

Smartphone users worldwide may not know about the extensive accessibility features available.

There are many accessibility-related apps, such as Be My Eyes or Seeing AI. There are also speech recognition apps such as Dragon. AudioNote is a useful notetaking app that allows users to record classroom lectures.

Smartphones are good examples of universal design because although they were not created specifically for people with disabilities, they have several features that improve the lives of people with disabilities.

Hearing aids

Hearing aids are essential assistive technology devices for people who have hearing impairments. Many of these people cannot function effectively without them. By amplifying sounds, hearing aids allow people with difficulty hearing to communicate more effectively with others.

Cochlear implants

Cochlear implants are somewhat related to hearing aids because they are electronic devices that significantly improve the lives of people with hearing impairments. Unlike hearing aids, though, cochlear implants do not amplify sounds but directly provide a sense of sound to people. As of December 2019, there have been approximately 736,900 cochlear implants worldwide.

Amazon Alexa

While not often considered an AT device, Amazon Alexa has many helpful accessibility features. For example, I use Alexa to control the lights and ceiling fan in my condo. I have found Alexa to be especially good with speech recognition. Alexa also has a "Show and Tell'" feature that uses the device's camera to tell blind and low-vision people which objects, such as grocery items, they are holding.

Alexa has features that assist people with other disabilities as well, including mobility, speech, and hearing impairments. I would recommend Alexa to people with disabilities who wish to live independently. Plus, Alexa is fun!

The power of AT

These devices and more emphasize how essential AT is to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Because of my disability, I have direct experience with many AT devices. There are countless other AT devices as well. Contact us with any AT (or digital accessibility) questions, as many Allyant team members have first-hand AT experience.
