Hi there! I am a graduate student from Fort Hays State University, in Hays, KS. My questions are in regard to the data found about the assistive devices. Why do you think there is such a small percentage of individuals out there that have used assistive devices? What reasons could account for this? In your experience is there one device that stands out from the rest, with having more success? COuld you give your opinion as to why the 66.7, 45, and 75 percentages were found? As a future clinician, I am worried that I will not know when to recommend a device to a client. They are costly, and data shows that success rates are limited. I look forward to reading your responses to my any questions:) This area is fascinating, and I really enjoyed learning about your survey. Thank you.
