Assistive technology (AT) is an area that is characterized by rapid development and innovation as a result of work done by researchers, engineers, educators, users and families, therapists, and rehabilitation specialists to inform and provide better and more promising devices to meet the needs of technology users. PREFACE This textbook is intended to provide readers with a wide range of information about assistive technology adaptations with an emphasis on devices and services. Finally, we dedicate this book to our brother/brother-in-law, Paul, who taught us so many valuable lessons about the liberating potential of assistive technology, and our mother/mother-in-law Adeline, who advocated for Paul in the public schools years before such advocacy became the norm. We also dedicate this book to the many professionals and family members who work tirelessly to ensure that assistive technology devices and services are accessible for users. This book is dedicated to those individuals who use assistive technology to help them become independent members of society and better able to access all of the environments in which we live, work, enjoy leisure and recreational activities, and learn.
