The primary focus of this book is to educate the reader on the Matching Person and Technology (MPT) model and assessment process that will guide the reader on consumer-centered assistive technology assessment and outcome measures designed to be used for individuals of all ages and all types of disabilities. The first section
of the book introduces the MPT and Matching Assistive Technology and CHild
(MATCH) assessment process and discusses key documents that align with the
assessments including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and
Health and the Occupational Therapy Framework III., The second section of the book focuses on the international emphasis of the MPT and MATCH assessments. At present, there are eight countries that are represented
in this section. Each chapter includes information on the assessment translations
(with access to copies if available or at least access on how to obtain copies). The
authors discuss research on the use of the assessment within their country to support
the assessment use. Lastly, a case scenario is discussed in each chapter to provide the
reader with an example of how the assessment was used with an actual consumer.
The last section of the book includes a focus on outcome studies in the areas of early
childhood, education (primary secondary, and postsecondary), work, and functional
independence. This section provides the reader insight into how to outline outcome
measures within the MPT and MATCH process. There is an additional section on future works that includes a brief introduction to the Service Animal Adaptive Intervention Assessment. 

This book is targeted to the Assistive Technology Providers (ATP) and policymakers (health care, education, and rehabilitation engineering), the university student pursuing a career in these areas, and the consumer of assistive technology.
