However, many people with cognitive, motor, and other difficulties also have the capacity to enhance their social interactions, leisure pursuits, and daily activities with the aid of assistive technology. Assistive devices, from the simple to the sophisticated, have become essential to intervention programs for this population. And not surprisingly, the numbers of devices available are growing steadily.   Assistive Technologies for People with Diverse Abilities offers expert analysis of pertinent issues coupled with practical discussion of solutions for effective support. Its comprehensive literature review describes current and emerging devices and presents evidence-based guidelines for matching promising technologies to individuals. Program outcomes are assessed, as are their potential impact on the future of the field. In addition, chapters provide detailed descriptions of the personal and social needs of the widest range of individuals with congenital and acquired conditions, including:   Acquired brain damage. Communication impairment. Attention and learning difficulties (with special focus on college students). Visual impairment and blindness. Autism spectrum disorders. Behavioral and occupational disorders. Alzheimer's disease. Severe, profound, and multiple impairments.   The scope and depth of coverage makes Assistive Technologies for People with Diverse Abilities an invaluable resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology, rehabilitation medicine, educational technology, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and clinical psychology.  .Autism and Child Psychopathology Series,2192-922XDevelopmental psychologyRehabilitation medicineEducational technologyDevelopmental Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20010Rehabilitation Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H55030Educational Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O21000Developmental psychology.Rehabilitation medicine.Educational technology.Developmental Psychology.Rehabilitation Medicine.Educational Technology.681.761Lancioni Giulio Eedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSingh Nirbhay Nedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298078703321Assistive Technologies for People with Diverse Abilities2126361UNINA
