Davis Company PP New York, NY SN 9780803619425 LK fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1134003138 RD 2024/03/29 AB Children with disabilities often require multiple assistive technology (AT) devices to meet their needs across environments. Physical therapists, in collaboration with other team members, will assess for other technologies after addressing the child's positioning. As discussed in Chapter 17, proper positioning promotes improved function, movement, and participation in activities. When a child is well positioned and can move about his or her environment independently, the need for communication and other technologies increases. This chapter provides information pertinent to physical therapists working as members of AT teams when addressing the remaining categories of AT.
