Adaptive Control Kit
Modular Hardware Solutions for Universal Desktop Accessibility
The Adaptive Control Kit is a comprehensive set of modular hardware peripherals designed to replace or augment standard computer input devices. Engineered for users with limited mobility, tremors, or varying physical strengths, this kit provides highly customizable buttons, switches, and joysticks that can be mapped to any keyboard or mouse function. It is a critical resource for federal agencies aiming to provide "Reasonable Accommodation" under Section 508, ensuring that physical barriers do not prevent talented individuals from performing their duties.
Product Details
The Adaptive Control Kit is built on a philosophy of "Plug-and-Play" accessibility. It serves as a bridge between the user’s unique physical capabilities and the standard digital workspace. By allowing for a completely personalized control layout, this kit reduces physical strain and increases input speed for professionals who find traditional mice and keyboards inaccessible.
Key Accessibility Features:
- Modular Customization: Includes various sizes of mechanical switches (light-touch to heavy-duty) that can be positioned exactly where the user has the most range of motion.
- High-Contrast Design: Components are color-coded and tactilely distinct to assist users with low vision or cognitive processing needs.
- Universal Mapping: Compatible with Windows and specialized accessibility software to reassign any hardware trigger to complex keyboard macros or mouse clicks.
- Durable Mounting Options: Comes with heavy-duty mounting plates and flexible arms to secure controls to desks, wheelchairs, or specialized workstations.
- Low-Latency Interface: Connects via a central hub to ensure immediate response times, which is essential for high-productivity government environments.
As a primary offering in the Assistive Technology Goods and Services (260101) portfolio, the Adaptive Control Kit empowers USA government agencies to build truly inclusive workstations that adapt to the user, rather than forcing the user to adapt to the hardware
