It is really hard to find recent UK written AT books - I have had to look
across the Atlantic at this selection but one can understand why - as the
ink dries the technologies change! :>))

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.
