The goal of this project was to assist the E.W. Tipping Foundation with providing its clients a range of technology options that could improve their quality of life and independence. We interviewed clients, carers, and staff and researched technologies based on common areas of need. Putting together the list of technologies, we found that no one technology suits the needs of all clients. Correspondingly, clients can use the list to select technology options to achieve their individual needs and goals.
