The New Freedom Initiative commitments will help jumpstart research in assistive and universally designed technologies and will help ensure that Americans with disabilities have access to those technologies." New Freedom Initiative 2002 "Technology helps level the playing field for persons with intellectual disabilities at home, at school and in the workplace." Claudia Coleman Chair, PCPID Subcommittee on Assistive Technology and Information People with intellectual disabilities substantially lag behind all other groups in our society in the utilization of technology. Technology is a critical means to enhance productivity, maintain independence, and expand quality of life choices. For people with intellectual disabilities, technology can be the critical difference between living at home and nursing home care, unemployment and work opportunity with advancement potential, freedom to move about independently and dependence on caregivers for direction. In the near future, exciting developments, such as improved voice recognition systems with one-word commands for performing many tasks, and advances in software development permitting creation of assistive devices to adapt simultaneously to the learner's personal cognitive style and to the learner's environment, are likely.
