An educational package for basic self-training of people with disabilities in relation to assistive technology. 2. Guidelines for courses for user empowerment in relation to Assistive Technology. A manual for trainers and organizers of educational initiatives directly addressed at end-users of Assistive Technology. 3. Programs in Assistive Technology Education for end-users in Europe. An inventory - and a comparative analysis - of 87 ongoing educational programs for end-users that were identified in Europe during the EUSTAT study. 4.

The provision of clothing and special textiles for disabled and elderly people must be improved. The easytex database provides a central source of information in this area. Manufacturers/suppliers will be made aware of their potential market, and carers and individuals will increase their awareness of what products and services are currently available to them. The web based database will offer direct links to other web pages, enabling communication to main national care organisations in Europe and their local resources.
