The purpose of the Seven Hills Assistive Technology Intervention Process was to develop a process by which to introduce assistive technology in Seven Hills' homes. The team accomplished this by designing a quantitative measurement tool, a catalog of assistive technology options and a comprehensive process for Seven Hills to follow when introducing technology. - The team proved the process provides people with disabilities opportunities to increase their independence through the use of assistive technology by implementing the process in several Seven Hills homes. The team recommends that Seven Hills Foundation continues to use and improve this process in its efforts to expand the Assistive Technology department.
