AT Basics
HAAT is an acronym for this model.
What is the Human Activity Assistive Technology Model?
There are two types of control interfaces for AT: Direct and indirect selection. This one is faster and more efficient.
What is direct selection?
Seating interventions for postural control must achieve an optimal balance between these two factors?
What is stability and mobility?
The 3 most common problems faced by persons with visual impairments are?
What is 1) access to printed material; 2) orientation and mobility; 3) access to ICTs (computer, phone, tablet)
An assessment tool that assesses a client's functional abilities of the individual as well as the impact of the (home) environment to their abilities.
What is SAFER-HOME. 12 areas of possible concern: community, mobility, kitchen, eating, household management/fire hazards, dressing, grooming, bathroom, medication, communication, recreation, security, and wandering.
SETT is an abbreviation for this framework.
What is Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools?
Control interfaces for indirect selection require the user to be able to carry out a certain set of movements. There are many that are commercially available of different sizes and shapes, diverse force and sensory requirements to activate.
What is a single-switch interfaces
Pressure ulcers have four stages of development. This one is partial thickness with an open ulcer or sore.
What is stage II?
Low vision includes these three categories of magnification aids.
What are optical aids, nonoptical aids, and electronic aids?
Joey has an SCI at level T4. You are Joey's OT who is assessing his ability to drive again. Your recommendation for the safest seating system is this.
What is accessibility for all regardless of ability?
This AAC access is best used when someone has good breath support and good articulation.
What is speech recognition?
Power wheelchairs have three drive wheel locations. This one provides the most maneuverability in tight spaces.
What is mid-wheel drive?
These devices allow individuals with low vision to see print, do work requiring fine detail, or increase the range of their visual field. *Think Globally*
What are optical aids?
Computers, mobile phones, and tablets are the gateway to a knowledge-based economy and are being made accessible to people who have disabilities to use as Assistive Technologies. These tools are called
What is Information and communication technologies (ICTs)
Name a principle of service delivery in AT (8):
*Encompasses all components of HAAT, Enabling, Assessment is ongoing and deliberate, Requires collaboration and is client-centered, System to gather/interpret data, Ethical, Sustainable, EBP; informed by the evidence
This legislation encompasses Section 504, prohibiting any activity receiving federal funds from discriminating solely on the basis of disability.
What is the Rehabilitation Act of 1973?
In addition to the controls necessary to maneuver the vehicle such as brakes, steering and gas pedal other components need to be accessible for safe operation called?
What is secondary driving controls? Can you name one?
This tactile substitution device is controlled by an electronic circuit that can be interfaced to computers, phones and tablets, or keyboards
What is refreshable braille display
Examples include auditory, visual, or word-based AT that can be customized for guidance in procedural, navigational or sequencing tasks is what category of AT to aid cognitive functioning?
What is prompting or cueing?
A model that classifies components of body structures and functions, activities and participation, and the environment in terms of their influence on health.
What is the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF).
These devices help a person with limited mobility turn on/off lights, adjust the TV volume, and turn pages of a book.
What are electronic aids to activities of daily living or EADLs?
Asymmetric postures that may be present in the pelvis and hips include (4):
What is pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, pelvic tilt, and windswept hips. When joint configurations such as these are fixed, the seating system should be designed to accommodate them rather than to attempt to correct them.
This assistive listening device consists of two parts. An internal device that is surgically implanted behind the ear and an external device with a speech processor.
What are cochlear implants?
Converts acoustic signals into electrical and transmits directly to cochlear nerve.
Clinical practice in AT must be carried out with honesty, integrity, and trustworthy behavior 2* to a transfer of control from staff and clients to a technological system. This embodies the ethical principle of what?
What is fidelity?
