AI Topics is a special web site provided by the American Association for
Artificial Intelligence [AAAI] for students, teachers, journalists, and
everyone who would like to explore what artificial intelligence is, and what
AI scientists do.  

Our goal is to offer a limited number of exemplary, non-technical resources
that we have organized and annotated to provide you with meaningful access to
basic, understandable information about the AI universe.

Assistive Technologies - a subtopic of Applications
http://www.aaai.org/AITopics/html/assist.html

"The current capabilities of many AI systems closely match some of the
specialized needs of disabled people. ... Fortunately, there is a growing
interest in applying the scientific knowledge and engineering experience
developed by AI researchers to the domain of assistive technology and in
investigating new methods and techniques that are required within the
assistive technology domain."
