Acknowledgement

The original version of the "Go for it!" guide was supported by the European Commission within the Telematics Applications Programme, Disabled and Elderly Sector. The guide was written by the Empowering Users Through Assistive Technology (EUSTAT) Consortium, composed of: Association nationale pour le logement des personnes handicapées (ANLH), Brussels, Belgium; Groupement pour l'insertion des personnes handicapées physiques (GIHP), Bordeaux, France; Danish Centre for Technical Aids for Rehabilitation and Education (DC), Taastrup, Denmark; Centro Análise é Processamento de Sinais (CAPS), Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal; and Centro Studi Prisma (PRIS), Belluno, Italy. This group kindly authorized us to use their materials.

The Canadian adaptation of the guide was produced by the Health Canada/Veterans Affairs Canada Falls Prevention Initiative through Health Canada's Division of Aging and Seniors, in cooperation with the Canadian Red Cross, Toronto Region, the Ontario March of Dimes, the Province of Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and Toronto Family Services Association.
