Dear All,
I'm doing some support work for the Assistive Technology Forum
on education and training for people who work in AT. I was wondering if
people could let me know of any courses they are aware of. I'm thinking
more of formal training rather than DLF or AbilityNet courses, as an
example, but they too have a lot of relevance for people who work in AT
who want to refresh or increase their knowledge and skills.
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
Aidan.
