The provision of assistive devices to improve functional independence is a well established component of occupational therapy practice. Recent research efforts in relation to assistive devices have indicated high levels of abandonment of devices in some client groups and for particular devices. Recommendations to address abandonment have focused primarily on training and follow-up of clients, apparently assuming abandonment relates to clients' skill levels and confidence in using devices. This article argues that abandonment also relates to people's perception of themselves as disabled, and to broader issues of identity. Factors for therapists to consider when working with persons who may benefit from assistive devices are suggested, based on concepts drawn from psychology, the social sciences, and consumer research. |
