Abstract
Intervention for children with disabilities should be anchored in an activity-based approach and use everyday life as a source of children’s learning opportunities. A wide range of assistive devices is available to support everyday activities in children with different types of problems in functioning. Providing these children with assistive technology can be an important intervention strategy for improving functional abilities, improving caregiving, and encouraging participation in everyday activities. Further research is needed to enhance our knowledge of how assistive devices can benefit children and their families to help to guide clinicians in day-to-day practice.
