We don’t have global indicators for rehabilitation and #assistivetechnology ... which is a problem, because “what gets measured, gets done”... @antduttine #closethegap #innovate19
Antony Duttine identifies one of the key challenges with the health system— “mortality is the yardstick by which the health sector generally measures its successes” @ATInNovATEHub #innovate19
Getting things started @ATInNovATEHub conference. @DisabilityFdn is a proud supporter of what looks to be a collaborative approach among diverse + multi-regional stakeholders to increasing access to #assistivetech
Everyone needs #assistivetechnology - now or later. Thanks @antduttine for a great keynote at #innovate19
“Nothing about us without us” @ATInNovATEHub #innovate19 In the transition between policy to practice, AT user and stakeholder involvement is fundamental 🙋🏻♀️
Do some communities have greater access to #assistivetech? @ATInNovATEHub panelist’s own experience says that is often the case for rural areas + age demographics is one factor among many. Be part of the dialogue + help identify possible solutions to these and other challenges.

A recipe for success in #assistivetechnology policy? @ChapalKhasnabis #bridgethegap
“We are an increasingly aware society and #assistivetech is fostering greater independence for those with or without disabilities but we need to remember that there are still access challenges for some and they are being left behind”-Heather McCain @DisabilityFdn @ATInNovATEHub
“People need to know that funding is needed because while the government funds assistive equipment services come from the community” - Avid adaptive sailor and supporter of @DisabilityFdn + affiliated societies #AssistiveTech @ATInNovATEHub
