Assistive device design is an area of design that focuses on creating products, tools, and technology that can help individuals with disabilities and special needs. It takes into consideration the physical, cognitive and sensory needs of the individual user and seeks to create products, technology and interfaces that can be easily used and understood. The ultimate goal of the design is to make products that are both functional and accessible to the user. The designer must consider usability, adaptability and technical accessibility when creating the product. In addition, the design must be aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to use.
