Özet:
With the unprecedented advancements in computing power coupled with the societal movement towards inclusive settings, there is no better time than today to strive for assistive technology equity in terms of universal implementation within a transdisciplinary perspective. This handbook marks a critical milestone in the history of implementation and practice of assistive technology. The intent of the book is to assist researchers, practitioners, and the users of assistive technology to augment the accessibility of assistive technology by implementing human cognition into its design and practice. Consequently, it presents assistive technology as an intervention for people with disabilities from a transdisciplinary perspective.
