Descriere
This book is the result of a wide international survey aimed at identifying, classifying and describing existing examples of educational programs in Assistive Technology (AT) addressed to persons with disabilities and the elderly.
The survey was carried out at international level mainly by means of a questionnaire, which was designed in accordance with the findings of Deliverable D03.2 Critical Factors in End Users’ Education in Relation to AT. However on-site visits were also made in order to collect further information and insight about a number of outstanding programs that adopt different approaches.
This book is divided into two parts. Part One is devoted to analysis of existing educational programs in AT. It contains a detailed section-by-section discussion of the data obtained from the survey, the description of seven programs analysed on the basis of on-site visits and 87 programs analysed on the basis of the questionnaires. Part Two presents the obtained data in both numerical and graphical form.
