Stroke Research and AT

Stroke Research and AT (Assistive Technology)

Survey Invitation

What do these Stroke Research and Assistive Technology have in common? Well, they are large topics in themselves, but not often studied together.

Drs. Laura Cushman and Marcia Scherer currently collaborate on studies of psychological and social factors in assistive technology use. They are initiating a study that looks at the AT needs and experiences of people with stroke. Your help would be appreciated.

Please consider taking the survey at:
