Mainstream technology is becoming more assistive as it is used in educational contexts and on mobile devices. Emerging technologies like mobile devices, cloud computing, and new payment models are influencing assistive technology. The document recommends that assistive technology training account for how people use the latest mainstream technologies and prepare students to use assistive technologies in the workplace.
