Segédeszköze

Segédeszköze is a Hungarian term that translates to "auxiliary device" or "assistive device" in English. It refers to any tool, equipment, or apparatus that helps an individual perform a task that they might otherwise find difficult or impossible due to physical, sensory, or cognitive limitations. These devices are designed to enhance, maintain, or improve an individual's functional capabilities and independence.

The scope of segédeszköze is broad and encompasses a wide range of items. In the context of mobility, examples include wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and prosthetics. For individuals with visual impairments, segédeszköze can include magnifiers, Braille displays, or specialized software. Hearing aids and cochlear implants fall under this category for those with hearing loss.

Beyond these more commonly recognized aids, segédeszköze also extends to adaptive equipment for daily living. This could involve specialized utensils for eating, dressing aids, modified tools for household tasks, or communication devices for people with speech difficulties. The primary goal of any segédeszköze is to promote a better quality of life by overcoming barriers and facilitating participation in various aspects of life, from personal care and work to leisure activities. The selection and use of these devices often involve assessment by healthcare professionals to ensure they are appropriate for the individual's specific needs.
