Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to:
- Identify at least 10 different materials for rapid AT device creations.

- Fabricate 5 multi-use devices for increasing independence and specific task completion for functional limitations.
Whilst AT Network strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so when linking to documents and sites outside of our site. We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring these other areas up to the same level of overall web accessibility.
