The Assistive Technology Industry Association ("ATIA") is a not-for-profit membership organization of manufacturers, sellers and providers of technology-based assistive devices and/or services. The Annual
ATIA Conference is a HUGE source of information on assistive technology and disabilities for professionals and families! This
conference, held in Orlando this year (January26-28, 2012), offers a wide variety of lectures, hands-on demos, trainings and more on technology and resources related to all disabilities (e.g., communication, hearing, vision, mobility, etc...). There are specific tracks for families and professionals and the exhibit hall is free of charge with an "exhibit hall only" registration. Parents, this is a great place to connect with professionals (e.g., therapists, teachers, advocates), products, and services that can greatly improve the lives of your special kids! Professionals, this is a great place to network with experts, learn about new research, therapeutic principles, products, and services, and get continuing education credits! Check out the
ATIA conference site for more details.
Register soon so you don’t miss out on the early bird discounts!
ATIA also provides great resources year-round on their website, including free webinar trainings, a newsletter, and links to vendors/products!
