IPAT created this 66-page book to serve as an introduction to assistive technology for senior citizens. It uses everyday language and provides scenarios of difficulty familiar to older residents that are made less difficult through the use of AT. Devices are described in the following categories: hard of hearing / deaf; cooking / kitchen; home safety / housekeeping / environmental controls; leisure / recreation / exercise / physical activity; lifelong learning / computers / augmentative communication; low vision / blind; managing medication / emergency assistance; positioning / seating / mobility / transportation; and self-care.
