Reviews
From the book reviews: This book summarizes current research on what devices are available for specific disabilities, how they have been used, and what the results were. It is difficult to overstate how rich this book is. It will change the way clinicians think and work with such individuals. This is an extremely important book for those who are involved in the lives of individuals with diverse abilities, but are also experiencing needs in other areas. (Ramasamy Manikam, Journal of Child and Family Studies, Vol. 23, 2014)
