Abstract

This paper examines how assistive technology can be utilized in conjunction with personal assistance services in the workplace. Through case examples, the authors show how assistive technology can assist an individual with a disability to become more independent and productive in the workplace. The impact of disability and environment on assistive technology is discussed. In addition, the authors review factors influencing the selection and utilization of assistive technology at the workplace and demonstrate how the use of assistive technology can lessen an individual's dependence on a personal assistant while at work.
