"Standards for Assistive Technology Funding: What are the Right Criteria?" will take place on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 from 3 - 4 p.m. EST.
Presenters Jim Leahy (Center on Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer - KT4TT) and Donald Clayback (National Coalition for Assistive and Rehab Technology - NCART) are members of the KTDRR's Assistive Technology (AT) Working Group.

Recommendations from the AT Working Group's recently released white paper will also be discussed.
