Decision-Making Criteria for Selecting and Reviewing Assistive Software Technology

Abstract

The project team conducted a series of interviews with key informants from units around campus. These informants spoke about how their units handle assistive technology software, which forms of AT software are most common among their userbases, and what factors they would want considered when purchasers at McMaster makes decisions about AT software. The project team then compiled notes from the interviews and started to make thematic connections between them. The criteria and recommendations below come from some of the major themes discussed by multiple informants.
