Assistive Technology Literature Database
|
|
The Coleman Institute's Assistive Technology Literature Database and "search engine" is designed to provide a comprehensive resource about research on assistive / cognitive technologies utilized by persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD). This database is intended to generate bibliographies for researchers and students, support providers and other professionals, families, and consumers with disabilities about existing and emerging technologies for persons with ID/DD. Policymakers and ID/DD agency officials may also find this bibliography a helpful resource in their efforts to provide and finance AT devices and services.
The database is organized to allow visitors to identify research articles relevant to their specific interests, including the author(s), the title of the book or article, the year of publication and journal, a brief summary or abstract (when available), specific key words, and categorical fields that identify the type of assistive technology (e.g., activities of daily living, computer access, communication, etc.).
This database is a collaboration between the Coleman Institute and the University of Minnesota Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Community Living, which is funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), U.S. Department of Education. The database is structured to allow visitors to identify research articles relevant to their specific needs. |
