| Description | This paper maps the current use of assistive technologies (AT) in the Czech Republic at two levels: in regional strategic documents and in the practice of service providers. Drawing on a content analysis of regional strategies and a questionnaire survey of social and health service providers, municipalities and towns, we examine how assistive technologies are conceptualised, supported and used. We focus on three discursive frames through which assistive technologies are embedded in regional policies: AT as a tool of social support, AT as a healthcare solution, and AT as part of the innovation agenda of smart regions. We also trace the diversity of terms used to refer to assistive technologies and the ways in which their potential and possible applications are narrowed down to selected target groups. |
