Greetings,
I have recently joined this forum which I find very informative and useful to share information with other professionals.
I am currently looking for an opportunity to broaden my knowledge in assistive technology and wish to ask the forum of any pointer they may have.
My professional experience includes mainstreaming of AT into care management. In addition I am reading Msc AT at Coventry university.
Should you have any contact or information you feel able to share, I would be most grateful.
Best wishes to all
Judith Aklama
