Adaptive equipment refers to devices or modifications to existing equipment that enable individuals with disabilities to perform daily tasks they otherwise could not complete. Unlike general assistive technology, adaptive equipment often refers specifically to modifications that make mainstream items usable, such as a special seat added to a standard toilet or controls adapted for a car. These tools are critical for increasing independence in activities of daily living for children with motor impairments resulting from birth injuries.
