Yes, I thought the last meeting was useful, if only for actually meeting some people from other sectors that i'd not met before. Your AT qual is an excellent example of ways of pulling people in from other sectors. It'd be a challenge to bash out a decent agenda and decide the objectives of the meeting Such a meeting would work if we could guarantee people from other sectors - i.e. maybe advertising on SENIT / IT-ASSIST / AbilityNet / .... ? Anyone else interested? (-: Cheers Simon Clinical Scientist ACT 0121 627 1627 ex 53245 -----Original Message----- From: A discussion list for Assistive Technology professionals. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Paul Doyle Sent: 04 April 2005 15:08 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: AT in Education Simon, You and Guy have highlighted a need for some type of gathering to establish a dialogue between all relevant and interested groups (it surely must be bigger than the social medical and educational sectors). Last year Hereward College hosted a multi disciplinary meeting in order to assess the need for accreditied training in AT. Do you chaps, and the Assistech gang think another open forum style meeting would be of use? It would give us an opportunity to get the ball rolling with the communication issue. As well as let anyone who is interested see where we have got to in terms of producing a generic AT qual. This is just a suggestion and we would need to sort out funding etc. but I am willing to put my money... (meeting room really!) where my mouth is. Let us know what you think. Cheers Paul
