Validity of the Electronic Instrumental activities of daily living Satisfaction Assessment (EISA) - The California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB), in partnership with the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and key stakeholders, in the course of this three-year project, will develop and validate a self-use questionnaire and users manual to help people with disabilities to select the most useful internet-connected assistive device for everyday functioning. The goal of this project is to improve the accuracy and quality of functional capacity evaluations available to people with disabilities across disability populations by further improving and validating the EISA 1.0, the only existing clinical questionnaire for internet-connected assistive devices. The objectives are: 1) to bolster the content validity of EISA 1.0; 2) to conduct cognitive interviewing for EISA 1.0 item and direction improvement; 3) to develop the EISA 2.0 prototype and user manual; and 4) to validate the EISA 2.0 theoretical construct with individuals with a visual and mobility impairment. Anticipated outcomes include: A quality assessment and user manual for individuals with any disability to perform everyday functional activities using internet-connected assistive devices that meet their needs; 2) clinicians will be able to assess and provide assistive technology devices that are in sync with current developments and user needs; 3)people with disabilities including individuals with the greatest support needs will be able touse cutting-edge assistive technology to live high-quality independent lives. This proposed study is a Proof of Product development project. Keywords: assistive technology, instrumental activities of daily living, outcome measurement, persons with disabilities, validity
