  The advancement of technology has progressed faster than any other field in
the world and with the development of these new technologies, it is important
to make sure that these tools can be used by everyone, including people with
disabilities. Accessibility options in computing devices help ensure that
everyone has the same access to advanced technologies. Unfortunately, for those
who require more unique and sometimes challenging accommodations, such as
people with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ALS), the most commonly used
accessibility features are simply not enough. While assistive technology for
those with ALS does exist, it requires multiple peripheral devices that can
become quite expensive collectively. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a
more affordable and readily available option for ALS assistive technology that
can be implemented on a smartphone or tablet.
