Description
Master the assistive strategies you need to make confident clinical decisions and help improve the quality of life for people with disabilities
with the latest edition of this comprehensive text. Based on the Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) model developed by the authors,
the book provides detailed coverage of the broad range of devices, services, and practices that comprise assistive technology and focuses
on the relationship between the human user and the assisted activity within specific contexts. This new edition has been expanded and
updated, and features new multimedia components that further demonstrate how to apply the concepts you've learned to real-world practice.
