The Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) model is a client-centered system that first considers the person, the activity in which they are wishing to participate in, and their environment prior to integrating assistive devices into their daily routines (Cook & Hussey, 2015)

High tech AT devices are the opposite of low tech devices. High-tech devices are more complex in nature and can cause distress for individuals with cognitive impairments who experience difficulty managing a complicated high-tech device. On the other hand, high tech devices can help individuals manage ADLS independently.

A variety of low-tech and high-tech items are displayed in the image below. We are going to focus on the iPad. The iPad is considered a high-tech device due to it's ability of being very complex and difficult to manage (assessing cognition is important to determine if a person is capable of benefiting and utilizing the device).
"High-tech refers to computerized devices such as dedicated communication devices or Apple iPads that use communication applications, apps (Fulks, 2017)."
