Assist your student or client to succeed in school, the workplace or
other real-life situations. Handheld devices can be used to remind
individuals with cognitive disabilities of daily appointments and
tasks. These PDAs can also be programmed to provide time-based prompts
and to provide step-by-step instructions for vocational, educational or
daily living tasks. These handheld solutions use standard PDA
hardware-so individuals who use them are using the same popular devices
other adults are using.
