Understanding Choice in Assistive Technology Service Provision: Considerations for Research Methodology
The adoption of choice as a policy principle in disability services reforms warrants research into the practical implications for assistive technology provision. This paper outlines methodological considerations for the investigation of how choice is constructed and experienced in assistive technology provision. It argues for an interpretive approach that considers the interactions between stak...
متن کاملAssistive Technology: Use and Service Delivery
As individuals with long-term disabilities and other older adults face declines in health and function, there is a greater need for assistive technology (AT) or assistive devices and environmental interventions (EI) to help them maintain their independence and community participation. These aids can help older adults and individuals with disabilities function in work, home, recreational, and ot...

Methods: Forty-six elderly persons with physical disabilities (aged 73.7±10.6 years, range 53-93 years) were examined with regard to the use of assistive technology, social support...
متن کاملHuman Support as a Model for Assistive Technology
To investigate which kind of assistance users need to run a VCR a study was carried out in which operating tasks were supported by providing either printed operation instructions or a human expert as support. The study was conducted as a computer simulation so that logfiles could show the number of actions and time needed to fulfill the tasks. The results show that human assistance leeds to a s...
متن کاملUnderstanding probabilistic interpretations of physical systems: A pre- requisite to learning quantum physics
Probability plays a critical role in making sense of quantum physics, but most science and engineering undergraduates have very little experience with the topic. A probabilistic interpretation of a physical system, even at a classical level, is often completely new to them, and the relevant fundamental concepts such as probability distribution and probability density are rarely understood. To a...
