Assistive Technology Assessment Handbook

Assistive technology plays a fundamental role in facilitating the social integration of people with physical, sensory, communication, and cognitive disabilities. This handbook presents the assessment tools that are essential in a center for technical aid, where multidisciplinary teams match the technology to the person who needs it. The book also describes the roles of members of the assessment team and reviews cutting-edge technologies for rehabilitation and independent living. Emphasizing the well-being of the person with disabilities, it proposes an ideal model of the assessment process and outlines how the model can be applied in practice internationally.
