Assistive Technology Assessment Handbook

Assistive Technology Assessment Handbook, 2nd Edition, provides an international model for the assistive technology assessment process structured according to the biopsychosocial model of disability. The handbook outlines reference guidelines for evidence-based practice to help public and private centers match individuals with appropriate technology.

The volume is organized into three parts covering assessment toolkits, the roles of multidisciplinary evaluation teams, and technologies designed for rehabilitation and independent living. Selected technical topics include brain–computer interfaces and robotic exoskeletons.

Featuring contributions from specialists across five continents, the 2018 edition aligns its framework with the Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology initiative and its emphasis on assistive products service delivery.
