Technology Reviews

This section of the Portal, still early in its development, is aimed at providing physicians, other professionals, patients, and their families with basic information about the myriad technologies that are available to improve care, health, function, and well-being for children with chronic conditions and disabilities. We also offer links to other web sites and sources of information, services, and some representative products. We do not intend to endorse or recommend specific products; rather we offer those links to help our users understand the range of what's available. Please use the Feedback button at the top of the page to let us know how we can improve this section and what aspects of technology we should prioritize in our ongoing content development.
