摘要

前言：近年來，隨著各種升學管道的開創，大專校院身心障礙學生人數日漸增加；另方面，相關研究也顯示，「輔具」對於支持其生活與學習的重要性。目的：瞭解大專校院身心障礙學生校園輔具使用經驗及對輔具功能需求與研發期待。研究方法：以半結構式訪談大綱，針對北、中、南25位大專校院身心障礙學生、4位資源教室輔導老師以及1位陪同者，進行質性訪談。結果：主要分為三個面向，首先，大專校院身心障礙學生認為，輔具不僅可增進學習成效、使其符合正常化生活原則，更能為生活帶來主導權。其次，對於輔具的功能需求與研發期待，研究受訪者指出增進輔具使用安全、耐用、獨立及可攜性，以及降低輔具費用負擔及社會烙印的重要性；並且提出對於白手杖、充電設備、擴視機及行動輔具使用相關雨具的研發設計期待。最後，大專校院身心障礙學生亦指出校園環境的障礙層面，包含升降設備、無障礙教室課桌椅及交通接駁服務的缺乏。建議：本文提出兩項研究建議，包含建置資訊整合平台，連結大專校院身心障礙學生與輔具研發設計端，以及發展全面性校園無障礙環境，作為相關單位後續規劃參考。

Background: While the population of college students with disabilities is growing, some studies indicated the significance of assistive technology to improve their quality of lives and supporting their learning in school. Objectives: The purpose of this study is investigate the experience of college students with disabilities in using assistive technology (AT), and explored their design expectations and needs in relation to AT. Methods: A semi-structured interview was used, including 25 college students with disabilities, 4 resource room teachers and 1 companion. Results: At first, AT is a tool which not only enhances learning achievements, enabling them to have a normal live, but also brings control power into their lives. Secondly, for the design expectations and needs for AT, the participants pointed out some important principles, such as safety, durability, independence and portability, as well as reducing cost and the stigma of using AT. For the design expectations, the participants focused on the function of the wheelchair raincoat, blind cane and video magnifier. For the final part, the lack of elevators, accessible desk and chair in classroom and transportation was the main environment barriers facing college students with disabilities. Conclusion: This study recommended that in order to make sure that AT designer understand what users need, the government should build an AT information integrated platform. Moreover, it was also important to create the barrier free environment in the school.
