👉 Adapted engineering refers to the process of modifying, redesigning, or repurposing existing technologies, systems, or components to better suit the needs of individuals with disabilities or to enhance accessibility and usability for a broader range of users. This approach involves integrating specialized features, such as voice-activated controls, tactile interfaces, or adjustable settings, into conventional engineering designs. By doing so, it aims to overcome physical, sensory, or cognitive barriers, making products and environments more inclusive and user-friendly. Adapted engineering not only improves the quality of life for people with disabilities but also often leads to innovations that benefit a wider audience, such as enhanced ergonomics or more intuitive user interfaces.
