Abstract

The Myers-JDC-Brookdale Institute is conducting an evaluation study of the Smart Homes Program – the introduction of digital devices to improve quality of life and promote independence among people with disabilities. The program was initiated by JDC-Israel Unlimited in partnership with Digital Israel headquarters at the Ministry for Social Equality, as well as the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Services, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ruderman Family Foundation. The study includes a review of access and provision programs of assistive technology in selected countries. The review focuses on existing programs in Australia, Denmark, the Canadian province of Ontario, and the US state of Illinois, and on the main components of each of these programs: The general background and legislation, target population, goals, the definition of assistive technology in each country, the implementation of the program, the role and training of professionals involved, funding, etc.
