Description
The lives of people with disabilities are complex and various, and there are many situations where technology - particularly assistive technology - already makes a real difference. It is clear that smart phone and tablet computer based solutions continue to enhance the independence of many users, but it is also important that more traditional assistive technologies and services are not forgotten or neglected.
This book presents the proceedings of the 14th conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE 2017) entitled: 'Harnessing the power of technology to improve lives', held in Sheffield, UK, in September 2017. This 4-day event about assistive technologies (AT) highlights the association's interest in innovating not only technology, but also services, and addresses the global challenge of meeting the needs of the increasing number of people who could benefit from assistive technology. The 200+ papers in the book are grouped under 30 subject headings, and include contributions on a wide range of topical subjects, including aging well and dementia; care robotics; eHealth and apps; innovations; universal design; sport; and disordered speech.
The breadth of the AAATE conference reflects people's life needs and so the book is sure to contain something of interest to all those whose work involves the design, development and use of assistive technology, whatever the situation.
