\(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct. A hearing aid directly enhances communication and social interaction, which fosters participation and inclusion in community life.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect. A wheelchair supports independence and mobility, but this relates more to freedom of movement than inclusion.
  • B is incorrect. An ergonomic keyboard assists workplace function, which improves learning and working, not inclusion.
  • C is incorrect. A button hook helps with daily tasks, reducing reliance on carers, but does not directly enhance participation with others.
