Learning From Each Other

AT users have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and sharing it with others multiplies its value. Thus, the DATI is offering a service to help AT users connect with and support each other in their ever-changing involvement with devices and related services. The service, called the Peer Support Network, will be coordinated by our Consumer Activities Coordinator, Bob Piech. A flyer about the Peer Support Network is being circulated statewide. People interested in participating should complete the form and return it to the DATI Central Site. This information will be compiled and provided to the people who respond, allowing them to identify others with AT backgrounds whom they may want to contact. There will be an ongoing effort to expand this list of people. If you are interested in learning more about this network or receiving one of these flyers directly, you can call Bob at the DATI Central Site at (302)651-6791 (voice) or (302)651-6794 (TDD). Copies of the flyer are also available at the Assistive Technology Resource Centers in each county (contact information can be found on pages 1-3 of this newsletter).
