Which of the following categories typically includes products that assist individuals with disabilities?

Nutritional supplements
Assistive technology
Alternative medicines
Exercise equipment

The correct answer is: Assistive technology

The category that typically includes products assisting individuals with disabilities is assistive technology. This term encompasses a broad range of devices, software, and equipment specifically designed to help individuals with various disabilities gain greater independence and functionality in their daily lives. Examples of assistive technology range from simple tools, like adaptive utensils for those with dexterity issues, to more complex systems like speech recognition software used by individuals with mobility impairments. While nutritional supplements, alternative medicines, and exercise equipment may play roles in overall health and wellness, they do not primarily focus on the specific needs of individuals with disabilities in the way that assistive technology does. Assistive technology is purposefully designed to overcome barriers and provide support, making it an essential category for rehabilitation and assistance for those with disabilities.
