With the assistance of technology, young children with disabilities can experience more success in exploring the world around them, communication their needs to others, making choices about their world, and taking more advantage of schooling and social opportunities. This first comprehensive book on the subject explores the wide range of considerations involved in evaluating childrens' needs, selecting and prescribing devices, and training children, families, and teacher to use the technology.

Written for professionals (teachers and specialists), it introduces a variety of assistive devices and their capabilities, plus the issues to consider in school and family settings as the child grows up.
