Individuals with specific needs due to an intellectual or physical disability can live more independently with the right kind of support system. Increasingly, technology is an effective tool to provide the individual, and their caregivers, with the confidence to live their life to the fullest. Whether it’s your patient or your family member that you are taking care of, CreateAbility’s offerings provide respectful monitoring and alerts wherever they call home.

Brain injury
A change in brain function can have a dramatic impact on the individual’s emotions, motor skills, and memory. These injuries can happen when an individual sustains a traumatic brain injury, such as a blow to the head, or an acquired brain injury from a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
The scope of symptoms and disabilities that accompany a traumatic brain injury are far-reaching, but fortunately so are the possible supports for the individual and their caregivers. CreateAbility offers solutions for the individual at work, therapy, and independent living settings.
- Back-to-Independence: supports people returning to independence, for those who recovered from a traumatic or acquired brain injury
- MeMinder: talking picture to-do list
- My Emotional Compass: assists in identifying and labeling emotions
- Mobile Avatar Coach: for those with intellectual disabilities and behavioral health issues
Low vision / no vision
Those with visual impairments may not have to rely on a caregiver as frequently when their independent living setting is designed specifically for them. They can make the most out of their home with CreateAbility’s accessible solutions.
- HomePortal: voice-controlled home (lights, appliances, and doors) for people with little or no eyesight
- Alexa-enabled Microwave
Mobility impairments
Nearly all routine daily activities require an individual to freely move about wherever they call home so if your loved one or patient struggles with mobility they could also have issues physically controlling their environment. You can reduce the amount of assistance that an individual needs with CreateAbility’s solutions that use the voice rather than physical action.
