Description

This course introduces the student to a variety of assistive technology (AT) devices and resources that promote independence after disability. Mobility, communication, environment, and activities of daily living devices are covered. Students participate in numerous community outings that mirror the service learning model. Students are required to complete an environmental assessment on a patient in the community and construct an assistive technology device. Funding issues are discussed.
