Abstract

As persons age with developmental disabilities, they experience life long disability and age-related issues at the impairment, activity, participation and environment levels. Assistive technology and environmental interventions (AT-EI) can serve as potential mediators in delaying or preventing functional decline, health conditions, and dependent care placements only if they are considered within the dynamic interaction of the person, activities, and the facilitators and barriers within the social and physical environment. This paper summarizes AT-EI needs, research results, and implications for practice specific to persons with developmental disabilities, and important others in their lives, as they age in place.
