Connections Strategies

Environmental Control Units (ECU) Eletronic aids for daily living for disabled people Environmental Control Units, or ECUs as they’re commonly called, enable persons with physical disabilities to participate in a broad range of everyday activities at home, at work, in classrooms, in health care centers, and in hospitals through a variety of user-friendly interfaces, including the touch of a button or the sound of the user’s voice. At AbleNet, we are committed to matching the correct technology with the correct person in the correct situation.

What do you want to control—TV, lights, appliances, telephone, bed?
Where would you mount the ECU—wheelchair, bed, desk?
How will you access/control the ECU—direct, external switch(es), scanning, voice?
Are there any cognitive issues affecting number of choices, memory, etc.?
Will physical and cognitive abilities be changing over time?
