AT is utilized to help work within the activity, human, and context to improve their overall performance and increase function.

# data[].attributes.body
The context is everything around the client that may affect their performance at the activity at hand. Some contextual variables include physical, social, cultural, and institutional.

# data[].attributes.body
The activity is the task at hand and the OT uses activity analysis to identify the client factors and performance skills necessary to complete the task.

# data[].attributes.body
The human is made up of client factors that may help or hinder their occupational therapy journey. The OT will address these client factors and make adaptations/modifications when necessary.

The Human Activity Asssitive Technology model is an occupational therapy frame of reference that addresses AT as the fourth component of ADL/occupation task completion. The HAAT model theorizes that the activity, human, context, and AT all work together to create help the client maximize functional performance. This approach can facilitate the success of the client with the OT’s assistance.

Introduction to Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

# data[].attributes.body
This is the most intense and expensive form of AT and will often require client education prior to usage.  These items may need to be plugged in and use a high amount of electricity. The advantage of high tech AT is that it can be capable of creating opportunities for our client that would not be available using low or middle tech AT.

Examples: electronic tablet, electric wheelchair, computer, alerting device

# data[].attributes.body
Mid technology AT devices may incorporate some electronic features such as being battery operated. They could be slightly more expensive and require an increased amount of training compared to low technology AT but are not as electronically complex.

Examples: audiobook, wheelchair, gait trainer, braille translation software, calculator

# data[].attributes.body
Low technology AT are devices that often don't require much training, usually are affordable, and do not have complex mechanical features.

Examples: Canes/Walkers, Magnified Glass, Pencil Grips, Slant Board

Assistive technology is described by Goodrich & Garza (2015) as “any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.” These devices are used to improve the client's overall functioning in all facets of life.
