About this resource

About

Founded in 1985, AbleNet designs assistive technology that enables people with physical disabilities to control their environments and access digital devices. Their switch-access and environmental control product line is used in schools, therapy clinics, healthcare settings, and homes worldwide.

What It Does

AbleNet's PowerLink control unit connects a single adaptive switch to standard electrical appliances, letting users operate lights, fans, radios, and kitchen devices with any reliable body movement. The wireless Blue2 switch connects via Bluetooth to iOS and Android devices, enabling switch access to tablets and smartphones. Products are compatible with smart home ecosystems and can be layered with voice control for redundant access pathways.

Who It Helps

People with limited or absent hand and upper-extremity function due to spinal cord injury, ALS, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, traumatic brain injury, or other motor-control conditions who need adapted ways to operate everyday electrical devices and digital technology.
