Abstract

This paper presents the results of a one-year study on mastery of assistive technology (AT). This study sought to develop a conceptual framework for talking about mastery of AT and to create an instrument for measuring individual mastery. A Delphi Study was conducted with individuals with disabilities considered to be "power users" of AT, practitioners, and researchers. Participants were asked to: identify factors that are predictors and indicators of AT mastery, determine how to measure these factors and determine criteria for each factor for the stages of AT mastery (e.g. novice, context-dependent, transitional, and power user). The resulting measure is called the Continuum of AT Mastery (CATM).

掌握辅助技术：它是什么？如何衡量？

本文介绍了一项为期一年的辅助技术（AT）掌握情况研究的结果。这项研究旨在为谈论对辅助技术的掌握程度制定一个概念框架，并创建一个衡量个人掌握程度的工具。一项德尔菲研究由被认为是辅助技术 "强大用户 "的残疾人、从业人员和研究人员参与。研究要求参与者：确定哪些因素可以预测和反映残疾人对辅助器具的掌握程度，确定如何测量这些因素，并确定每个因素在残疾人对辅助器具的掌握阶段（如新手、依赖环境者、过渡者和熟练使用者）的标准。由此产生的衡量标准被称为 "掌握辅助器具的连续性"（Continuum of AT Mastery，CATM）。
