(3 stages)
order to improve scanning selection skills
HAAT Human Activity/Assistive Technology Model
Operator using AT system properly?
Hum
Does the system allow user to meet goals for activity?
an
Does the system bridge the gap between the skills the
Activ
consumer has and the skills needed for the activity?

Assistive environment?
Technology Context
Follow up = activities that occur immediately after AT is installed
Follow-up versus Follow-along
Follow-Along = activities that occur over a longer time span, often over
a life-time
Most common type of INDIRECT selection in which

consumer uses a switch to select option when highlighted
user initiates scanning process then selects option with a
Directed Scanning
joystick or other switch. This is the fastest indirect selection
method
Acceptance Time the length of time a user pauses at a choice during directed scanning
