DATI Annual Conference Set for October 4 & 5

The Second Annual DATI Conference will be held on October 4 and 5 at Clayton Hall on the University of Delaware campus in Newark. Like last year’s conference, sessions will address a variety of assistive technology applications across the lifespan. Nationally-recognized experts will talk about AT opportunities available through early intervention, school and vocational rehabilitation programs, Medicaid, and SSI. Several sessions will address leisure and recreational activities supported by assistive technology. A Washington insider will update attendees on the latest developments in health care reform and the implications for AT service delivery. A large exhibit of products and services will accompany the conference sessions.

The registration fee of $15 for consumers and $25 for all others permits access to all conference activities, including continental breakfast, lunch, and breaks both days. A limited number of consumer scholarships are available. For more information, or to receive the conference brochure/registration kit, contact Sonja in the DATI Central Site Office at 651-6790 (voice) or 651-6794 (TDD).
