ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research was to collect basic information about how people with disabilities recognize, utilize, needs for new devices, willing to apply and develop strategies for information and communication assistive devices according to functional categories. Registered homebound disabled persons aged 7 years or order and registered as 1st through 6 degrees of disability were the participants of the study. As a result of this study, the more people recognize and experience information and communication assistive devices, it is likely that they show higher demands. As a result of stepwise approximation method to calculate the number for the recipients, overall there were 365,244 demands which is equivalent to 27.4% of the target population(1,333,099 people). Specially, among the recipients of the devices, if we were to define priority-recipients as someone who must have assistive devices when using computer, there are 136,637 demands which is equivalent to 10.2% of the target population.
