The process of matching a person who has a disability with the most
appropriate assistive technology requires a series of assessments,
typically administered by multidisciplinary teams at specialized
centers for technical aid. Assistive Technology Assessment Handbook
fills the need for a reference that helps assistive technology
experts perform assessments that more effectively connect the
person and the technology. Emphasizing the well-being of the
individual with a disability, the book proposes an ideal model of
the assistive technology assessment process and outlines how this
model can be applied in practice internationally. Organized into
three parts, the handbook: Gives readers a toolkit for performing
assessments Describes the roles of the assessment team members,
among them the new profession of the psychotechnologist, who is
skilled in understanding individuals and their psychosocial and
technological needs and preferences Reviews cutting-edge
technologies for rehabilitation and independent living, including
brain-computer interfaces and microswitches The book synthesizes
information scattered throughout the international literature,
focusing on aspects that are particularly representative or
innovative. It also addresses the challenges posed by the variety
of health and social care systems and the different ways that
individuals who need aid are defined-are they users, patients,
clients, or consumers, and how does that affect the assessment?
Edited by Stefano Federici and Marcia J. Scherer, internationally
renowned leaders in the field of assistive technology assessment,
this cross-cultural handbook includes contributions from leading
experts across five continents. Guiding readers in matching the
person and the appropriate assistive technology, it offers a
framework for future practice and research. Listen to Stefano
Federici talk about the handbook.
