Are you going?
Every year since I've been an Occupational Therapist I have looked forward to, and attended NCATP's Assistive Technology EXPO. Last year, they did not hold it. I never was able to find out why, but I imagine it came down to funding. This year, they are back on.
The EXPO is always a terrific place to see and hear about the latest in Assistive Technology. One of the interesting factors about this conference is you see AT providers and AT users/family members in attendance.
