A lot of us believe (and rightly so) that technology is getting too advanced and interfering with our personal lives. However, technology can be very helpful to those with special needs. It can be helpful for children with autism, the seeing and hearing impaired and the mentality and physically impaired. These new improvements can be a huge step for bettering their lives.

- Real time identification of faces and objects can be of immense benefit to those who have trouble performing those tasks themselves, such as the autistic or blind.
- AI assistance can also help people with various impairments interact in a more able fashion with those around them, including government departments or businesses.
