Rehabilitation technology assessment practices in vocational rehabilitation agencies.
A rehabilitation technology assessment is an essential element in the array of rehabilitation technology services provided for vocational rehabilitation (VR) clients. As a part of a comprehensive survey of rehabilitation technology services in VR agencies, information was collected on current practices in rehabilitation technology assessment. Some variation in length, components included, and professionals involved were found among agencies. A complete description of these assessments as reported by VR agencies is discussed and commonalities in current practice are described.
