Question

Does magnifier count as assistive technology

Answer 1

The correct answer: Yes

Assistive technology is an umbrella term that includes assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and also includes the process used in selecting, locating, and using them. Assistive technology promotes greater independence by enabling people to perform tasks that they were formerly unable to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by providing enhancements to, or changing methods of interacting with, the technology needed to accomplish such tasks.

Magnification falls in this criteria. Therefore, we can conclude that magnification is an assistive technology which can be used to help end users see small objects in in their displays.
