The specific technology solution or brand option will be different depending on the person’s experience and needs. The technology solution ultimately selected should be something that meets the person’s needs and is the best possible match for them. Considerations may include, familiarity with specific device types (e.g., android vs. ios), reliability of the technology, and whether the technology meets accessibility needs for the individual (e.g., motor skills required for use of that technology, number of steps to complete the task). When possible, it is a good idea to try the technology before purchasing.
