| Summary |
"Contributed by education and other researchers from the US and Canada, the 10 chapters in this volume examine the efficacy of assistive technology for people with disabilities. They discuss the research of the National Assistive Technology Research Institute on technology in schools; the conditions for the most effective types of training for practitioner, parent, and child outcomes; speech-generating devices for communication by young people with cerebral palsy; technology use by students who are blind or visually impaired; how a single-entry point system could reduce barriers for people seeking to use assistive technology; technology teacher preparation in the US; how personal learning networks and online communities of practice contribute to the development of assistive technology and skills of in-service professionals; legal mandates for families seeking funding; and a state assistive technology fund"--Publisher's description |
