The Equipment and Assistive Technology Initiative (EATI) was created in 2009. It is a program run by the British Columbia Personal Supports Network (BCPSN) and the Ministry of Social Development (MSD). For adults with disabilities in British Columbia who have an employment related goal, the program provides assistive technology (AT) (assistive equipment and devices). The purpose of this study was to find out:
- How assistive technology participants received through EATI was impacting them and their employment goals;
- How joint decision-making by community (BCPSN) and government partners (MSD) impacted the program; and
- How the Participation Model impacted program participants.
