Our aim is to continue developing and expanding assistive technology educational resources to VA clinical personnel. This includes materials to prepare for the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA) Assistive Technology Professional (ATP), Seating and Mobility Specialist (SMS), and Rehabilitation Engineering Technologist (RET) certifications.

These Grand Rounds are recorded, closed-captioned, and archived for later viewing as needed at www.rstce.pitt.edu for you to access along with a host of other webinars related to AT.

The Grand Round webinars have been developed for the purpose of educating clinicians in different aspects of assistive technology. Follow the link for the full list of material, or see below for the most recent additions to the list.

During the 2017 International Seating Symposium, more than 30 presentations were recorded. They are available to view on the RSTCE website.

Any webinar with the "33rd ISS" badge next to it was recorded at the 2017 event in Nashville, TN.

The Assistive Technology CERT course is a 9-month training program that combines online modules, group case studies, and conference-call recitations. It provides individuals with a comprehensive understanding of assistive technology (AT) and how it can be applied to your field of practice.

The course concludes with a two-day, in-person "Deep Dive" event where participants can put their knowledge into practice.

The course also assists in preparation for the RESNA Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) and Seating & Mobility Specialist (SMS) certification exams.

The course runs annually from August to May. Applications for the 2017-2018 course are now closed. Please click here for more information.
