Evaluation of technology acceptance of a computer rehabilitation tool

Published: 11 June 2008 Publication History

Abstract

This paper focuses on the evaluation of technology acceptance of a computer-based rehabilitation tool developed for young children with cochlear implants. Interviews with the children's parents before and after having used the program were carried out to evaluate their attitudes towards such computer rehabilitation tool. Results showed that the parents' attitude depended on the perception of the tool efficacy, which was related to the improvements they noticed in their children auditory ability. Recommendations are made in order to increase acceptance of rehabilitation computer tool for very young children.
