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.  . 410 0$aAutism and Child Psychopathology Series,$x2192-922X 606 $aDevelopmental psychology 606 $aRehabilitation medicine 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aDevelopmental Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20010 606 $aRehabilitation Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H55030 606 $aEducational Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O21000 615 0$aDevelopmental psychology. 615 0$aRehabilitation medicine. 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 14$aDevelopmental Psychology. 615 24$aRehabilitation Medicine. 615 24$aEducational Technology. 676 $a681.761 702 $aLancioni$b Giulio E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSingh$b Nirbhay N$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298078703321 996 $aAssistive Technologies for People with Diverse Abilities$92126361 997 $aUNINA
