Assistive technology (AT) plays a critical role in bridging this gap by enhancing functional independence and improving quality of life for people with disabilities and health impairments. This first edition offers a comprehensive overview of assistive technologies used in habilitation and rehabilitation settings. It is designed to support professionals, educators, and researchers by presenting current evidence, innovative tools, and practical applications of AT across diverse populations. Through its chapter-wise organization, the book highlights both established and emerging technologies that address physical, sensory, cognitive, and developmental needs, with a strong emphasis on patient-centred and evidence-based approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive overview of assistive technologies used in habilitation and rehabilitation services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvidence-based discussion on AT interventions for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverage of innovative tools, including computer-based and vision-enhancement technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed exploration of assistive devices for visual impairment, including classifications and daily living aids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical relevance for multidisciplinary professionals, such as rehabilitation specialists, eye-care workers, educators, and community-based practitioners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus on advanced ICT solutions for improving bathroom safety while maintaining user privacy, particularly for older adults\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsights into assistive software applications for children with autism spectrum disorders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReview of virtual reality–based interventions for neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting positive therapeutic outcomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasis on patient-centred design and adoption pathways to improve acceptance and effective use of assistive technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dr.Ralf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49050816184494,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/8179\/8062\/files\/61DKK6NokdL._SL1400.jpg?v=1788053759","url":"https:\/\/ebooksmedical.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-assistive-technology","provider":"Ebooks Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
