Abstract

This article defines and distinguishes assistive technology, mainstream technology, the “Internet of Things” and information and communication technologies. These technologies and trends have immense potential to improve the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. At the same time, they present new challenges in terms of data security, privacy, choice and informed consent, as well as the need to overcome policy barriers in funding.
