Church & Glennen - The handbook of assistive technology,  focuses on the “practical application” of assistive technology and is intended to be used as a hand book and resource guide for professionals in their daily work.(1992),

 Fundamentals of assistive technology, RESNA (1999), is a resource manual designed to be used in conjunction with the RESNA Fundamentals in Assistive Technology Course. It contains twelve modules written by experts in the field along with other useful course materials.
