A map of assistive technology educative instruments in neurodevelopmental disorders.

CONCLUSION: It is important that therapists choose the instrument that will offer the best approach towards the goal that is set. Future research could provide evidence based data, evaluating each specific methodology and tailoring each therapeutic approach specifically to a case. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Technology creates environments in which children could practice and learn in a safer, more predictable and pleasant manner. Assistive Technologies provide the opportunity for better acquisition of selfhelp skills and the power of social interaction for individuals with disabilities. By mapping out the wide array of Assistive Technology that is available today, future applications for rehabilitation of children with neurodevelopmental disorders could help extend therapeutic strategies out of the clinical and school settings and into the home, thereby incorporating the family and emphasizing personalization. Future studies could develop a model for the choice and use of each tool, tailoring each therapeutic approach specifically to each case. PMID: 33125855 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
