Examining occupational therapists’ perspective on assistive technology: a qualitative study
Occupational therapists should receive more training on assistive technologies so that these technologies can be used effectively in clinical practice.The lack of standardized guidelines for the use of assistive technologies leads to inconsistencies in therapists' choice of devices. Therefore, it is important to develop these guidelines.Accessibility issues and organizational barriers limit the effective use of assistive technologies. Overcoming these barriers can increase the efficiency of therapy processes.
