Etat : Sehr gut. 189 S. In very good condition. Text clean, no inscriptions. --- Assistive technology is radically changing the lives of persons with disabilities. Dr. Scherer sets the background for this radical transformation and discusses the implications of assistive technology for the lives of two groups of persons: robust, active men who had to trade their motorcycles and Corvettes for wheelchairs, and adults born with severe disabilities such as cerebral palsy. - - A severe disability no longer need prevent a person from attaining the same educational, personal and career goals as every other adult-independent liv- ing, mobility, understandable speech and work. The devices enhance their lives but their personal issues and needs must be better understood by parents, educators, professionals, and employers. Scherer reminds us that 90% of physical rehabilitation is mental rehabilitation and provides guides for fa- cilitating this understanding. - - "Marcia Scherer persuasively reminds us that as technology is used to increase opportunities for individuals with disabilities to become productive members of society, the needs of the whole person must be taken into account. For assistive technology to provide the maximum benefit, services that address the emotional, personal, and social needs of the individual in adjusting to and using these de- vices must also be provided." - - -Senator Tom Harkin Chair, Subcommittee on Disability Policy Committee on Labor and Human Resources - - "The introduction of high technology . often has unexpected and indeed un- foreseeable consequences. That is why Dr. Scherer emphasizes that technology alone seldom is the answer." -Professor Frank G. Bowe, Hofstra University. ISBN 0914797840 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
