ATIA goodbye, thanks for the good times!

Hey Tek-ninjas! Holy-moly. ATIA. Delivered beyond expectations. So much to process. So many great talks. Exciting vendor booths. And so many smart, and driven people, leveraging intellect and passion to make life better for others. Seriously, the excitement was palpable.

I’m sitting in the Orlando airport, waiting to fly home to Chapel Thrill where I will head to Mattamuskeet with Sweet-L to watch birds, and rejuvenate before delivering voices again on Monday. Once I’ve had time to synthesize some of this amazing content, I’ll try to distill a little of what I’ve learned in another post or two... for now - pictures!

ATIA: First Time Attendee

Hey Tek-ninjas! So, I'm in Orlando, FL right now. And I'm really stoked! I am officially a "First Time Attendee" of ATIA. It says so on my name badge.

ATIA is billed as the conference "Where the Assistive Technology Community Meets to… Network, Learn, and Share". Right up my alley. In a few minutes, I will be going down to look at all the vending booths and see the latest and the greatest offerings.

I'll let you know what amazes me. And of course I'll post pictures. I have already gotten to take a sneak peak at the Tobii Dynavox booth as was very impressed. If you are a long time reader, you'll not be surprised by that!

If your here, and you see me, come say hello!

For those of you back in your clinics, schools, or homes... happy therapy!!
