Description

Workshop description: Establishing an AT competency framework, Rohan Slaughter, University of Dundee
Rohan will present on a research project established to understand the Assistive Technology training requirements of staff working in special schools and specialist colleges. The project aims to propose an Assistive Technology competency framework. He will provide an overview of the supporting literature review that was undertaken as part of the project and will briefly describe the project methodology. Rohan will summarise what can be included in the competency framework and will invite the views of TechAbility delegates. The research team are particularly interested in the extensibility of the competency framework from education to health and social care contexts and would welcome colleagues from all sectors to contribute during this session.
