In this new report, ATscale describes the enormous gains that access to assistive technology (AT) can have in health, for the community and the economy.

Humanitarian inclusion standards for older people and people with disabilities
These standards provide practitioners and organisations with clear actions that can be taken to protect, support and engage older people and people with disabilities and help us all realise these commitments. They provide guidance to identify and overcome barriers to participation and access in diverse contexts, and at all stages of the humanitarian programme cycle.
