Description

There are hidden moments inside each day when you have the chance to work magic.

Like when you show a Parkinson’s patient how to feed herself independently again using a robot. Or when you empower a student with muscular dystrophy to keep up with classmates using adaptive software.

But unlocking those moments is harder than it should be.

New assistive technologies are developing so rapidly that it’s hard to keep up. And more often than not, you’ll find yourself with the perfect tools, but imperfect problems. How do you adapt those out-of-the-box solutions for patients that fall outside the norm? And what about the cost?

It’s time to break down the barriers that are holding you back from delivering life-changing technological breakthroughs.

Watch this tech lab recording, and learn how to help your patients benefit from today’s best AT solutions – without breaking the bank.

Whether you work with children facing cerebral palsy or veterans who are finding their new normal after an amputation, you’ll return to work with a step-by-step approach for assessing AT needs and customizing solutions that dramatically enhances your confidence and skill level in this area of therapy.
