RAatE - 30th Nov and 1st Dec

[Simon Judge]

Hi all,

Just to remind you that RAatE is fast approaching and that you need to get your registration in now(ish) to guarantee a place. There are some great papers, keynotes (this is the only UK 'date' to see Dr Scherer for example), training and exhibition this year. This is also the only opportunity to meet and network with like minded people and services from the UK (i.e. the people on this list).

Keynote speakers are Dr Marcia Sherer and Dr Carrie Britton. Dr. Scherer is President, Institute for Matching Person & Technology and author of "Living in the State of Stuck: How Assistive Technology Impacts the Lives of People with Disabilities". Dr Britton trained as an occupational therapist in rheumatology and now works to improve the design, delivery and standards of services for families of children with disabilities or long term illness.

Training sessions will focus on current AT education provision, an introduction to Trusted Assessor training and Digital Inclusion. Presentations will cover a wide range of topics including computer access, telecare, location awareness, wheelchair design and AT for people with learning disabilities.

Full programme details and online registration now available at http://www.raate.org.uk <http://www.raate.org.uk/>
