AI at Tobii Dynavox: From Foundational Innovation to User Informed and Ethical Futures in AAC

Led by a RESNA authorized instructor and current ATP, this training seminar provides a comprehensive review of assistive technology concepts and industry best practices.

How do we assess, trial, and prescribe assistive technologies when an individual’s access method has become limited to the tip of their finger? How does that need shape an individual's access to their meaningful activities and how do they find the best match of AT to keep living a highly active lifestyle? How do we guide an individual through AT options to find balance in their complex needs when we are working towards the outer limits of the functions available in AT products? This presentation aims to discuss high level topics and engage ATPs in the intersection of prescription for CRT/power wheelchairs, alternate drive interfaces, and ancillary technologies including computer access and home environmental controls. We will discuss best practices from research and current models of care for AT across the continuum. The purpose of the session is to acknowledge how prescription of individual AT devices without considering needs for other AT in the user’s sphere can create a gap in care and reduce quality of life overall and how we can work to bridge gaps in prescribing AT within a holistic multidisciplinary scene. Live group discussions based on scripted polling will be welcomed! We want to be able to create a space to discuss success stories as well as challenging cases in order to utilize and catalogue collective wisdom of AT experts and demonstrate effective models for early career ATPs. Case studies will demonstrate how diagnoses such as SMA, Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, and other neurodegenerative diagnoses can challenge ATPS to work at the highest scope of our certification – and how they can drive improvements in assistive technology.
