Modeling in Therapy

727
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Learning Disabilities

741
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Longitudinal Research

13.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Assistive Technology Research
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Assistive Technology (AT) is crucial for enhancing independence and participation in daily life for individuals with disabilities.
  • Person-centered assessment is vital for effective AT provision, ensuring technology meets individual needs and goals.
  • The Matching Person and Technology (MPT) model and its ATD PA component offer a framework for evaluating AT user needs and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine assistive technology needs and usage patterns through the Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment (ATD PA).
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the ATD PA as a person-centered assessment tool in rehabilitation.
  • To identify longitudinal trends in AT user perspectives and device satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study utilizing data from the ATD PA, administered by graduate students to 193 potential AT users.
  • Structured interviews collected data on user functioning, satisfaction, personal characteristics, and person-device match.
  • Longitudinal analysis of data collected between 2007 and 2022 to identify trends.

Main Results:

  • Most users anticipated stable or reduced future support needs.
  • Significant correlations were found between user autonomy, emotional well-being, and satisfaction across various life domains.
  • AT devices were most positively rated when aligned with user goals, routines, and environments, with social and environmental fit being critical for perceived success.

Conclusions:

  • The ATD PA demonstrates consistent trends over time, validating its utility in AT assessment.
  • The MPT model, through the ATD PA, is an effective strategy for person-centered AT assessment and measurement-based service delivery.
  • This approach enhances professional training in disability and rehabilitation contexts by emphasizing user-centered practices.
