The [[astrophysics|astrophysicist]] [[Stephen Hawking]] is an example of someone with severe motor and physical limitations who used assistive technology to support [[activities of daily living]]. He used a switch, combined with special software, that allowed him to control his [[wheelchair]]-mounted computer using his limited and small movement ability. This personalized system allowed him to remain mobile, do research, and produce his written work. Prof. Hawking also used [[augmentative and alternative communication]] technology to speak and an [[environmental control device]] to access equipment independently.
