It is frustrating to believe that embedding technology into the other special interest sections will do this topic and the specialty area justice. While we don’t want to silo assistive technology, we do not want to water it down to either!

I was hoping I would walk away from this session with a tool to use...

-We are worried that the tech SIS is going away. Could there still be a committe?

-AOTA could “beef up” their AT CE opportunities that are current/cutting edge/best practice. We are getting most of our AT trainings outside of AOTA

-Add more AT “stuff” in AOTA marketing materials (pictures of AT being used within OT, etc)

AT is at the heart of OT. We started as a field making adapted equipment. Occupational Performance = Assistive Technology. I want an tech person on each SIS AND having a Tech SIS. If let AT be an afterthought, other professionals will take over. Occupational Therapy should be the number one professional that provides AT, no one else.

My speciality in OT is Assistive Tech. I live, eat, breath it. AOTA does not offer the PD or conference sessions at my level. I rarely go to the AOTA conference, I attend ATIA, Closing the Gap and my state AT conference for my PD.

# data[].attributes.body
Adding liaison to other areas would build capacity of technology in those areas, then then the tech sis could Be disbanded. But now OTs seeking AT knowledge have to turn elsewhere.

We wish you would have added the liaison to each area (to help integration of technology), building global capacity. But cutting the technology sis should have waited for the capacity to have been built. Now OTs looking to grow technology knowledge are forced to go elsewhere rather than turn to AOTA.
