Understanding the Matching Person and Technology (MPT) Model and Assessment Process

By Susan A. Zapf, the primary focus of this book is to educate readers on the Matching Person and Technology (MPT) model and assessment process. This comprehensive guide aims to provide insights into consumer-centered assistive technology assessment and outcome measures, applicable to individuals of all ages and disabilities.

Introduction to MPT and MATCH Assessments

The first section of the book introduces the MPT and Matching Assistive Technology and CHild (MATCH) assessment process. It discusses key documents that align with the assessments, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, and the Occupational Therapy Framework III.

International Emphasis of MPT and MATCH Assessments

The second section of the book focuses on the international emphasis of the MPT and MATCH assessments. Currently, eight countries are represented in this section. Each chapter includes information on the assessment translations, research on the use of the assessment within the country, and a case scenario to provide an example of how the assessment was used with an actual consumer.

Outcome Studies

The last section of the book includes a focus on outcome studies in the areas of early childhood, education (primary, secondary, and postsecondary), work, and functional independence. This section provides readers with insights into how to outline outcome measures within the MPT and MATCH process.

Future Works

There is an additional section on future works that includes a brief introduction to the Service Animal Adaptive Intervention Assessment.

This book is targeted at Assistive Technology Providers (ATP), policymakers (health care, education, and rehabilitation engineering), university students pursuing a career in these areas, and consumers of assistive technology.
