Abstract

Clinically based assistive technology (AT) outcomes research attempts to answer a fundamental question: "What works, for whom, and why?". Implicitly, this suggests that we can relate treatment interventions (i.e., "what"), measured outcomes (i.e., "works"), and the target population (i.e., "for whom") in a manner that supports or challenges treatment theories (i.e., "why"). This article identifies important variables and approaches to measurement, for three of these four essential components of outcomes research — i.e., treatment interventions, target population and outcome variables.
