Any physical or mental ailment (impairment) that makes it harder for the affected individual to engage in particular activities (activity limitation) or engage with their environment (participation restrictions) is considered a disability. According to the 2011 Census, 2.68 Cr people (2.21% of India's 121 crore total population) are classified as "Disabled." One way to combat disability is to develop intelligent prosthesis and assistive technology. The usability and functionality of these devices are improved by real-time monitoring, feedback, and control made possible by advanced sensors and networking. We have attempted to use some of the Internet of Technologies' (IOT) solutions to address the limits in this research. People with disabilities could live far better lives because to the Internet of Things (IoT), which offers creative solutions to a range of problems they could encounter. IoT integration offers a revolutionary chance to address disability and create a more inclusive society in many areas of life. IoT is transforming how we meet the requirements of people with disabilities, from smart assistive devices and home automation to health monitoring, communication aids, and accessible transportation. In this research paper, we have proposed some IoT based models to tackle few constraints of disabled people which can help the disabled people with their day-to- day problems.
