In adapting career guidance for individuals with disabilities, which component most directly supports accessibility in practice?

• A. Accessibility in settings
• B. Accommodations
• C. Assistive technology
• D. Inclusive assessments

Answer: (C)

Assistive technology directly enables participation by providing concrete tools that make information, communication, and tasks usable for many different abilities. It includes devices and software like screen readers, speech-to-text, magnification, captioning, and alternative input methods. In career guidance, these tools let someone access guidance materials, engage in sessions, complete online assessments, and perform job-search activities in real time, tailored to their needs. While other components matter—creating accessible settings, offering accommodations, or designing inclusive assessments—assistive technology is the most immediate way to remove barriers and enable practical access across activities.
