adaptive tools
Customized accessibility equipment
Adaptive tools are devices or equipment modified or designed to help people with disabilities perform tasks that would otherwise be difficult or impossible.
A one-handed cutting board with suction cups, a large-grip pen, or voice-activated software are all adaptive tools.
The term appears frequently in occupational therapy and accessibility contexts: She uses adaptive tools to cook independently despite limited hand mobility.
