Rehabilitation Engineering
Rehabilitation engineering uses engineering principles to help people with disabilities improve their independence and quality of life. In recent years, there has been an explosion of assistive technology devices, which allow individuals to overcome limitations in functioning. Redwood’s rehabilitation engineer uses problem solving and design skills to identify technology to promote independence in the areas of computer access, environmental control, job performance, mobility, communication, and activities of daily living.
