SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Bringing together information about the needs of people with disabilities and the equipment available for them, this accessible guide shows how the two can be brought together to provide an effective match of person and product. The authors have reviewed the available evidence that informs choice of the most appropriate assistive device to meet individual need. This much-needed guide sets out the many issues involved in choices about equipment, including availability, carers' requirements, possible funding and importantly the users' physical and intellectual capacity, opinions and lifestyle.
