Conference Themes
New Technologies
With the expanding fields of technology
research and development, how can these advances be harnessed to
benefit both the field of assistive technology and people with disabilities?
An exhibition of evolving technologies will take place as part of
the conference including all the leading AT manufacturers, vendors
and service providers.
User Centred
Approach
As the European Union advocates a philosophy
of citizenship and governance, how can people with disabilities
become central to the AT process?
Interdisciplinary
approaches
New thinking advocated that existing
structures can no longer continue to be organised into separate
units based on traditional disciplines. How can interdisciplinary
teams become a reality?
Guidelines
and Standards
As the European Union develops and begins
to implement guidelines and standards for AT devices, services,
Web accessibility, universal design etc. Can the AT field demonstrate
leadership and best practice?
