GS 17 - A Global Standard for Assistive Technology Services

The AT Service Method (ATSM) is an evidence-based process framework to efficiently manage the diverse variables necessary for the effective provision of AT. The ATSM employs the ICF to establish an internationally relevant, person-centred, cross-disability, interdisciplinary, trans-environmental methodology supporting data collection to inform practice and policy on AT interventions. The creation of an International Workshop Agreement standard for the provision of AT based on the ATSM can rapidly advance the Global Research Agenda.
