The development of Assistive Technology (AT) devices has the main objective of increasing, maintaining or improving the functional capacities of people with disabilities in carrying out their daily activities. However, one of the main problems faced in the development of these devices is to understand the real needs of the users and to involve them in this process so that the developed device is actually used and that is effective in helping the user (Cook; Gray 2015; Beigel, 2000).
