[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Aidan Parr Sent: 15 July 2005 11:35 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: AT Training and Professional Qualifications 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.
