Mounts provide secure and flexible ways to position assistive technology exactly where a person can use it best. Because everyone’s physical abilities and environments are different, mounting solutions ensure the controller and the chosen access method are always comfortably within reach, whether at home, in bed, at a desk, or on a wheelchair.
The right mount enhances independence, comfort, and ease of use.
