The importance of assistive technology (AT) in helping individuals with disabilities lead more independent and participatory lives is not in debate. What is in debate is the reasons for AT non-use and abandonment and how this field has lagged behind others in assessing the outcomes of AT service delivery. Rather than focus on the alleviation of AT abandonment, this paper argues for an emphasis on optimizing the appropriate match of AT and user. Ways to achieve this focus on characteristics of the milieu of use, user/person and the particular AT being considered.
