However, little is known about the role everyday AP plays in promoting sport participation. Purpose: This study explores how the 50 priority APs on the World Health Organization\u2019s Assistive Products List can promote participation in sports. Materials and methods: We used an online survey with AP-users, caregivers, and coaches (n=96). Subsequently, we performed a thematic analysis for qualitative responses describing the use of APs in facilitating sport participation. Results: Our results suggest everyday APs are required for sport participation for persons with disabilities. We present a conceptual model of AP use for sport participation. We found people with disability participate in a range of sports, contributing to community engagement. Conclusions: Access to everyday APs is integral to achieving the rights of persons with disabilities for participation in sport.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti230618","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,28]],"date-time":"2023-08-28T14:43:00Z","timestamp":1693233780000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Assistive Technology to Promote Participation in Sport for People with Disabilities"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4069-7642","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Geppert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Iceland, Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland"},{"name":"Assisting Living and Learning Institute, Maynooth University, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2541-5723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma M.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assisting Living and Learning Institute, Maynooth University, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1696-5862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damian","family":"Haslett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Loughborough University London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennie","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation, Science and Technology, University of Pittsburgh, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3329-6296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ikenna D.","family":"Ebuenyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assisting Living and Learning Institute, Maynooth University, Ireland"},{"name":"Rehabilitation, Science and Technology, University of Pittsburgh, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6672-9206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malcolm","family":"MacLachlan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assisting Living and Learning Institute, Maynooth University, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Assistive Technology: Shaping a Sustainable and Inclusive World"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI230618","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,26]],"date-time":"2023-10-26T13:44:25Z","timestamp":1698327865000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI230618"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,23]]},"ISBN":["9781643684222","9781643684239"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti230618","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,23]]}}}
