Enabling technologies for inclusion in health, support,
care and education
Editor: Chris Abbott
Frequency: Quarterly
Print ISSN: 1754-9450
Online ISSN: 2042-8723
Aims and scope
Journal of Assistive Technologies debates definitions and concepts within assistive technologies, and addresses ethics, policy, legislation and issues for day-to-day practice. Articles focus on how people use assistive and enabling technologies, rather than solely on the technology itself, and raise awareness of available technologies for a wide and varied readership.
Peer-reviewed, the Journal brings together the people who use assistive technologies and the people who write about and research its use, and provides a user focus on:
• current and new assistive and enabling technologies
• telecare and e-inclusion in health and social care that
promotes independence
• relevant information to refer to in your daily work.
Readership
Journal of Assistive Technologies is vital for everyone involved in assistive technologies. It is a hugely valuable source of information for academics, universities and colleges, purchasers and providers of technology, practitioners, policy-makers, people working in learning disability, housing and older people services, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, assistive technologists, clinical and rehabilitation engineers, education services, commissioners, local authorities, NHS and primary care trusts, carers, users of services and students.
