There are so many different kinds of assistive technology. The term itself is rather generic and refers to all kinds of items, software, from the simple to the complex. For example, one of those rubber things you put on a pencil to make it easier to hold is considered assistive technology. Look up terms such as Intellitools, Alpha Smart, Phonic Ear, Language Master, switch adapted mouse, touch screen, TDD, speech recognition software, telecare, sticky keys, etc. Calculators, touch pads, special seating, adapted keyboards, cassette players, scanners, braille embossers, etc. are all forms of assistive technology.
Wickipedia actually gives a very good list.
