Online Course: Interdisciplinary Fundamentals in Adaptive and Assistive Technology
This course can serve as a review of assistive technology policies and procedures, service plans, and devices for different needs. It is not directly tied to the updated RESNA certification, but it can help refresh many concepts. It includes topics related to the use and availability of adaptive and assistive technology (AT) as well as service delivery to individuals across the lifespan. The course consists of text, audio, images, and multimedia.
