What is Assistive Technology?
Write down 5 examples.
![Page 13: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CONSIDER:
Richard, born without arms or legs in 1969, has learned how to live his life with a great deal of independence. He has control
over many activities in a variety of environments, including
work, transportation, recreation/exercise, and daily activities.
![Page 14: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What types of assistive technology might be helpful
for him to access:
Daily living (showering, brushing teeth, eating, shaving, dressing)? Transportation (at home, in community)? Recreation/exercise? Using a computer for work?
![Page 15: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
See if you can figure out more ideas from this video:
Assistive Technology:
Opening Doors to Independence

![Page 16: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So, why should we consider assistive
technology?
![Page 17: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Law Says: Any item, piece of equipment, or product system,
whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. (Tech Act, 1988; ATA, 1998 & amended in 2004)
Provides the means to move, speak, read, hear, see, be more in control of the environment
![Page 18: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
On a more personal level, let’s
consider:Access,
Opportunity, & Choice
![Page 19: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ACCESS
![Page 20: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
OPPORTUNITY
![Page 21: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CHOICE
![Page 22: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
INDEPENDENCE
“Independence is defined in terms of how much control a person has over his or her environment, not in the number of tasks that the person can do without assistance.”
~ Enders & Leech, 1996
![Page 23: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SELF-DETERMINATION IN ENVIRONMENTS
(school, work, recreation, social life)
IN ACCESS TO FRIENDS, FAMILY
IN CHOICES ABOUT EDUCATION & CAREER
![Page 24: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
User-Centered, User-Driven Approach
Individual needs drive the process
Reduces non-use & abandonment of AT
Focus on “person” vs. “people”
Need to assess & document outcomes (e.g., AT satisfaction, performance, quality of life)
From wizcomtech.com $150-200
![Page 25: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Asking the right questions to a potential AT user:
What do you want to do?
What’s preventing you from doing it?
Will assistive technology help?
Are there commercial devices available?
Are additional modifications needed?
ARE YOU OPEN TO USING AT?
![Page 26: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Using any A.T. includesIncentives & Disincentives
Usability: Comfort Ease of use Effectiveness
Improved quality of life: Sense of control Independence Ability to participate
Stigma
Frustration
Confusion
Embarrassment
Unmet expectations
![Page 27: G caren fa2011 gs420-1bb](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052223/55a1cf8c1a28abaf468b45e3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Access, Opportunity, Choice
For quality lives!
