An assistive devices services practitioner is a health care provider that helps disabled or injured patients with assistive devices. Assistive devices are tools, products or types of equipment that help the disabled or injured patient perform tasks and activities. Tasks and activities may include the ability to move around, see, hear, communicate, eat, and other basic, but very necessary functions.
