Nowadays, Assistive Technology (AT) systems are\ closely tied to the devices that they control. Considering a smart
environment where a person with a disability needs to interact\ with multiple devices, the user is forced to rely on AT software
tools available on the each used platform. Therefore, computer\ skills are required to adjust any different computing environment
configuration according to the user{\textquoteright}s needs and preferences.\ To address such issues, in this paper, we discuss the usage of
embedded systems able to interface sensors and existing AT\ software tools running on user{\textquoteright}s personal equipments, in order
to natively interact with many platforms. Thus, our work aims to\ decouple AT software tools from the accessed computer systems,
allowing us to control various kinds of computer systems, even\ those that do not provide any AT features, by using just a\ personal assistive equipment.
