Thanks Jonathan ________________________________ From: Aidan Parr [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wed 01/06/2005 17:41 Subject: Useful Text Books and Guides for AT I was wondering if anyone had a list of useful text books or guides on Assistive Technology? I'm aware of a few: Assistive Technologies (Cooke & Hussey) Clinician's Guide to Assistive Technology (Olson & DeRuyter). Chailey Approach to Postural Management I've probably got some more at home from doing the MSc... Does anyone know of any more useful texts? It would be great to find some that had a UK or European perspective. It would be helpful if there was a hierachy of their usefulness (e.g. Beginner, Advanced, Expert). We could find somewhere on our website to list good support literature for AT practitioners. Cheers, Aidan.
