    Occupational therapists are increasingly involved with technical aids. This study examines four Canadian programs to assess the economic viability of their role in assistive technology services.

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Science
    • Assistive Technology
    • Occupational Therapy

    Background:

    • Growing interest in technical aids for various populations.
    • Occupational therapists (OTs) are expanding their roles into the technical aids sector.
    • Exploration of OT involvement in assistive technology is crucial for service development.

    Observation:

    • Four distinct Canadian programs involving OTs in technical aids were analyzed.
    • Programs included a province-wide agency, a university research project, a regional rehabilitation center component, and a private consultancy.
    • Each program's economic implications were critically evaluated.

    Findings:

    • The economic feasibility of integrating technical aids into OT practice varies across different program models.

  • Analysis determines if the inclusion of technical aids is economically justifiable for both programs and individual occupational therapists.
  • Understanding economic factors is key to sustainable assistive technology services.

    • Implications:

    • Findings inform the economic justification for occupational therapists' involvement in technical aids.
    • Results guide the development and funding of assistive technology programs within healthcare and private sectors.
    • Highlights the economic value OTs bring to the growing field of technical aids and rehabilitation.
