Perspectives of Persons With Disabilities Toward Home Adaptations and Assistive Products in Rural Northern Thailand: Comparative Study
The study indicates that persons with disabilities face various problems. Both with and without experience of HAs and APs need to enhance their home modification and support to bridge the gaps in accessibility and practical solutions to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities in rural communities. This study recommends that policymakers should focus on increasing funding, improving service delivery, and enhancing awareness programs to support individuals in need. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of HAs on quality of life and independence.
