Enhancing Partnerships Between RERCs and ATIA Members for Improved Assistive Technology Access

ATIA members range from large IT companies to family-run small AT firms. Many members, while familiar with RERCs, lack experience or knowledge of their benefits. This creates a communication gap that can hinder collaboration. The ATIA annual conference in January serves as a prime opportunity for networking, with over 2,400 attendees and new initiatives such as discounted registration for RERCs and poster session opportunities. Participants can engage with AT vendors to foster partnership growth and explore programs like free webinars and publishing in the ATOB Journal.
