How does a person learn more about Assistive Technology?
The WWW is a wonderful resource for this purpose. Using searches on specific topics on websites like Google and resources like those found on this website will lead you to information about products, conferences, training programs and degree programs focused on AT. The web is also a rich resource for information on evaluating and assessing the need for AT devices and services. Every state has a Tech Act Project supported by Federal dollars for the purpose of increasing public awareness about and access to AT devices and services. In Colorado that project is located in Denver at Assistive Technology Partners. See the site for information on the regional conference on AT, open lab times and many other opportunities for learning.
