Assistive Technology and Students with Mental Retardation: Utilization and Barriers.
Wehmeyer, Michael L.
Journal of Special Education Technology, v14 n1 p48-58 Win 1999
A survey of 516 family members examined assistive-technology use by students with mental retardation. Findings indicate that the number of students who could benefit from devices but did not have access to them exceeded the number who actually had devices. Barriers to device utilization are discussed. (Author/CR)
