The school's lab is divided into three areas to focus on academic skill-building, telecommunications, and anti-victimization training. This third area includes five interactive video stations. The software follows six teenagers as they prepare for a party and involves each of them in a potential victimization scenario. Linda terBurg, a teacher at Addison High School in Addison, MI, finds that attention-deficit students perform two to three times more work because the technology holds their attention. She has three computers in her classroom, each with the same software used in the school's computer lab. Adrienne Moreland, a resource teacher, finds that word processors are among the most powerful tools available for learning-disabled youngsters. Technology in special education.

In this literature overview the determinants mentioned in literature that affect the degree of non-use will be discussed. They will be compared to the determinants that affect adherence with medical interventions. First, the various definitions of non-use used in literature will be compared. Next, an overview of the determinants of non-use of assistive technology will be given, categorized under personal factors, factors related to the assistive device, factors related to the user's environment and factors related to the intervention. After comparing these factors to the factors found in literature related to adherence with medical interventions, the strategies used to reduce non-adherence with medical interventions will be "translated" into the field of assistive technology provision.
