Assistive Technology for Cognition: A handbook for clinicians and developers

by Brian O'Neill (Editor), Alex Gillespie (Editor)

Assistive technology can compensate for cognitive deficits and thus improve daily function for those with brain injury. This book reviews the state-of-the-art assistive technology for each cognitive domain and contributes to our understanding of the compensatory treatments available for cognitive impairment. Unlike other books on assistive technology, this volume is unique in providing a framework- The International Classification of Function (ICF)- for conceptualising cognitive functions which can then be used to examine the current and future potentials of ATC for each cognitive domain.

This book will bridge the fields of neuropsychology and technology, in order to advance the field of assistive technology for cognition, and improve the conditions of those with brain injury. Clinicians will consult it for current and future technologies and technology developers will use it to help find direction for the development of new technologies.
