Occupational Therapy: An Introduction to Assistive Technology

Monday 20th April 2009

This great little five minute video from Jennifer Hunt provides a good introduction to assistive technology (AT), covering a definition of what AT is, why people need it, where it gets used and potential barriers to using AT.

The purpose of this project was to create a distance learning tool to be used by occupational therapy students to establish a foundation of basic knowledge of assistive technology and its purpose for occupational therapists as well as consumers of occupational therapy.

The multimedia movie serves as a tool in the distance learning communities of occupational therapy students. Its visual and auditory impact allows the student to self-direct scholarly exploration and promotes flexibility and diversity in learning environments.
