Chapters & learning objectives
1. Developing an Assistive Technology Team
Evaluation for and prescription of a specific assistive technology requires a team that is comprised of individuals from varying disciplines. Everyone brings his or her discipline's perspective and knowledge, thus providing for successful implementation of assistive technology.
2. Funding for Assistive Technology
Once an Assistive Technology Team has determined the specific technology that is required to allow an individual to perform the desired task, funding for the technology must be found. This chapter will discuss funding options that are available for assistive technology.
3. Accessing Technology
For an individual with a disability to successfully utilize assistive technology, they must be able to access it. Successful access must be quick and repeatable for the individual to sustain the assistive technology.
4. Selecting an Appropriate Switch
Successful utilization of assistive technology requires appropriate access. This chapter will look at several types of switch access and factors to determine which is most appropriate.
