Assessing Assistive Technology Use and Needs

The purpose of this study is to assess the current assistive technology use and needs of people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neuromuscular diseases. This data will be used to determine the level of familiarity and effectiveness of this technology. Our hypothesis is that there are 1) gaps in the information that people with neuromuscular diagnosis have about assistive technology and that there are 2) areas of need for AT that are not being addressed by designers. This information gathered can then be used to 1) develop educational resources to provide information to individuals who need the AT and 2) provide a resource to individuals developing AT to address the needs of their target population. Currently enrolling.
