It consists of semi-weekly online discussions; lectures by
notable professionals, clinicians, and assistive technology users; virtual
tours of local medical, clinical, and engineering facilities; student
project presentations and demonstrations; and a Virtual Assistive Technology
Faire. |

Abstract: This 9th annual event will provide an
opportunity for students and community members to get an up-close look at a
variety of assistive technology devices and learn about available services.
Manufacturers and users of assistive technology products as well as small
companies and agencies serving individuals with disabilities and older adults
will bring assistive technology devices to display, demonstrate, and
discuss.

products / services can be found here.
Zoom Attendance
This class session will not
be open to community attendance - This decision has been made
due to the loss of audio quality during the first class session - mostly likely
due to the large number of attendees and a poor WiFi connection. For these
reasons, I must restrict Zoom attendance to enrolled students. Individuals
affiliated with Stanford can request to be invited to the class session.
However, I will provide the link to this recorded video session to anyone who
requests it. |
