This study describes the core concepts of the Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) model and discusses its development over three successful versions. It states that the HAAT model is one of the earliest models of AT and is an important framework within the field. After investigating the HAAT model, the researchers concluded that it is highly relevant and applicable for occupational therapists; occupational therapists can use the HAAT model as a conceptual guide during clinical practice.
