“…By enabling spinal injured individuals to reach objects at higher places, including making transactions at counters and communicating at the same eye level, the functionality offered by FES standing neuroprosthesis can bring significant psychosocial benefits (Brown, 1997).…”

“…Each assessment derives from experiences of technology users and nonusers, including many with spinal cord injuries; thus, they have content validity. Additional studies provide evidence for reliabrlity and criterion-related validity (Scherer, 1993(Scherer, , 1997a(Scherer, , 1997bBrown, 1996;Cushman & Scherer, 1996;Vincent & Morin, 1999); however, usefulness for predicting satisfied use of assistive technology by a sample of individuals with new spinal cord injury had not been assessed. The present purpose was description of the assessment of predictive vahdity of a subset of items measuring subjective q u~t y of life and three selected items for predsposition toward use of a device by examining their discrimination of Satisfied and Not Satisfied users of assistive technology after returning to their natural environments at 1-mo, postacute rehabilitation.…”

To assess the validity of the Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment-Consumer Form for persons with a new spinal cord injury, 10 men and 10 women completed the scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Brief Symptom Inventory while in acute rehabilitation. One month postdischarge, subjects completed the Perceived Needs Inventory and rated their satisfaction with assistive technology. Significant positive correlations between items of the Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment and Satisfaction with Life Scale (and their significant negative correlations with scores on the Brief Symptom Inventory-Depression) suggest the selected Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment items measure quality of life (concurrent validity). Only Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment scores predicted satisfied use 1-mo. postdischarge as measured by the Perceived Needs Inventory.

“…A postintervention evaluation of person-centered factors (Brown, 1996) was conducted and included collection of disability-specific data of personal independence using the Personal Independence Profile (Nosek, Fuhrer, & Howland, 1991), degree of societal handicap using the Craig Handicap Reporting Technique (Whiteneck, Charlifue, Gerhart, Overholser, & Richardson, 1992), device match information using the Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment (Scherer Associates, 199 1 ), and developmental information on self-image using the Offer Self-Image Questionnaire (Offer, Ostrov, Howard, & Dolan, 1992). Results showed a young adult with low average self-image and feelings of inability to control her emotions, frequent depressive symptoms and family tension, and a focus on the negative.…”

The field of assistive technology (AT) encompasses many professions, each with its own disciplinary understanding of the client. Many take a medical viewpoint, some take a biomechanical stance, whereas others view individuals from a psychosocial perspective. One commonality among all AT professionals is their focus on increasing independence and attaining the personal goals in the day-to-day life of an individual with a disability.The delivery of the technology is not an end in and of itself; the processes involved in ensuring adequate attention to the finer points of technology integration include a unique understanding of the person with a disability. Professional efforts to deliver the targeted technology can be successful only if attention is given to the needs of the individual. This chapter summarizes the contemporary perspectives of AT services with a focus on evaluating the individual behind the technology. A n overview of AT assessment issues is provided, followed by two case examples of AT service delivery in which the personal characteristics of the recipients were and were not taken into consideration. Finally, current trends and issues in assessing people for ATs are examined. UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGYRehabilitation professionals have just recently begun to seriously study the issues of who uses assistive devices and why they use them. This may seem counterintuitive, but it is the truth: Only since researchers began to focus on the reasons for abandonment of technology have they looked beyond the technology to the users. This section examines assessment of individual users of AT.
