## Objective: Assistive technologies (ats) support independence and well-being in people with cognitive, perceptual, and physical limitations. given the increasing availability and diversity of ats, evaluating the usefulness of current and emerging ats is crucial for informed comparison. we aimed to chart the landscape and development of at evaluation tools (ets; atets) across disparate fields in order to improve the process of at evaluation and development. ## Data sources: We performed a scoping review of atets through database searching of medline, embase, cinahl, hapi, psycinfo, cochrane reviews, and compendex as well as citation mining. ## Study selection: Articles explicitly referencing atets were retained for screening. we included ets if they were designed to specifically evaluate ats. ## Data extraction: We extracted 5 attributes of atets: at category, construct evaluated, conceptual frameworks, type of end user input used for atet development, and presence of validity testing. ## Data synthesis: From screening 23,434 records, we included 159 atets. specificity of tools ranged from single to general ats across 40 at categories. satisfaction, functional performance, and usa
