Needs Statement

There is a need for assistive technology devices that reduce barriers that prevent persons with severe disabilities from entering or advancing in the workplace. Devices are needed to address environmental accommodation, functional assistance, and mobility issues for people with cognitive disabilities, developmental disabilities, and physical impairments (vision, hearing and mobility). (From NISH)

The company to be assisted is S.W. Industries, a division of S.W. Resources which is located in Parkersburg, West Virginia. They provide services to the business community through the talents of individuals with disabilities in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Many of these services are packaging, shipping, or light assembly projects that some businesses find tedious, and it is one of these light assembly projects that will be looked at for better alternatives.

Revised Needs Statement:

S.W. Resources employees with varying levels of disability need a device to assist with handling and installing o-rings. We are targeting our design towards employees with less severe disabilities to improve their productivity.
