People with disabilities related to cognitive impairment may be excellent candidates for smart home and ambient technologies that support safety and functional independence. Fortunately, many of the tools that may be leveraged to provide these supports are available and affordable in the consumer marketplace and can be readily implemented within the context of a rehabilitation therapy program. This chapter examines: (1) functional assessment for living at home, (2) a model for retrofitting existing homes for inexpensive smart home solutions that are focused on safety and functional independence, (3) a range of consumer tools available for improving home-based everyday support, (4) psychosocial implications of smart home utilization, and (5) issues surrounding funding for these technologies.
