Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the history of motor disabled assistive technology. Specifically, this chapter will cover motor disability and the history of assistive technology related to motor disability. As such, this chapter will also include the evolution of technology and its components, resulting in the creation and development of assistive technology. Assistive technology will be defined and analyzed, the history of disabilities will be covered, and the history of motor disability will be discussed. Reasonable accommodations, based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), in relations to the utilization of assistive technology, in the disabled community, as well as in relations to the independence of the disabled will be covered via the paradigms of assistive technology trainer and job developer for the disabled in the United States of America—capital of technology—Google, Inc., Yahoo! Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc.—and capital of assistive technology.
