"Rehabilitative and assistive technologies can help people with disabilities to function more easily in their everyday lives and can also make it easier for a caregiver to care for a disabled person. The term "rehabilitative technology" is sometimes used to refer to aids used to help people recover their functioning after injury or illness. "Assistive technologies" may be as simple as a magnifying glass to improve visual perception or as complex as a computerized communication system."

Step-by-Story mobile apps help build reading readiness. They are carefully designed for pre-readers and early readers (kids from 2 - 6) to help them associate words, sounds and pictures in preparation for reading. Every element of this app is designed to keep your child focused on the right things. The screens feature large buttons that require press-and-hold, so they can't be pressed by accident. Stories are deliberately short and easy to create, so that the youngest of children can experience the fulfillment that comes from being able to complete a meaningful task without help from an adult.
When a child complete a story, their choices are turned in to a charmingly simple animated movie that can be shared with family and friends.
