Collaborating to Create AT for Students with Significant Physical Challenges - ATIA 2022

I am always so excited to attend the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) Conference in Orlando every January. I love to get new ideas, resources, and support from others in the field and It’s so easy to get lost in the vendor hall, looking at all the cool new technologies and tools!

My colleague, Sabina LaClair, SLP, and I were privileged to present an educational session at ATIA 2022. If you attended this session and are looking for my added resources, you will find them here. If you haven’t seen this, I hope my content will inspire you to reach out into the community for assistance when ‘making’ adaptive devices for your students whose needs can’t be met with commercially available options!

This session, titled COLLABORATING TO CREATE AT FOR STUDENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL CHALLENGES was created to showcase projects we have completed here at AT4Kids by partnering with community agencies, organizations, and volunteer groups. I have amended the slides to add information for those who did not hear this session. I am also attaching our handout, HELPFUL IDEAS AND RESOURCES
