Abstract
The enclosed case-study is a follow-up to the previous report on client "george," a seventy-one year old high-functioning male retiree living in an independent unit with his spouse, and contains recommendations on an appropriate AT device usages which should prove beneficial to him in an assisting capacity. It includes my reasoning why a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), effectively programmed with AIMS software, would assist him with his cognitive deficiency: namely, his memory. My intention is that this report will provide a useful tool in examining the utility of this product, and its suitability for george as an assistive technology which will aid in his well-being, completion and enjoyment of everyday activities consistent with his routine.
An MPT assessment of george revealed that he is a highly functioning adult with sound speech and communication abilities; that he is active and mobile; that he possesses manual dexterity; that his eye-sight is diminishing; that his hearing is sound; that his reading and writing is effected by his diminishing eyesight; that he is capable and fulfills household activities; and that he is experiencing remembering difficulties but is otherwise able to think and to comprehend well.
