This first part in a two-part series on assistive technology focuses on practical application and facilitation for children and families. Using the framework of PEAT’s Suite, Supporting a Child’s Physical Environment and Assistive Tool Journey, receive guidance on what assistive tools are, how to decide when to use them, and how to use them appropriately in a child’s daily routine. All children, professionals, and family members use many different types of assistive tools daily, often without realizing it.
