Reviews
""...provides an overview of a wide range of assistive technologies that is difficult to find elsewhere and so fills a gap in this field.... The purpose of this book is to provide current information to those already familiar with assistive technologies and to develop foundational knowledge in those new to this practice area.... Included is a comprehensive glossary and index, color images, and helpful charts. The chapters point the audience to more in-depth resources. This edition brings a more global perspective to this content and its application.... [It] has been updated and reorganized, including color images and an electronic version. The book quality is good and will meet the need for an overview of assistive technology, primarily for students interested in this practice area.... I recommend this book for students and for those who are new to the field of assistive technology and are looking for an overview of this practice area.""
