This grant will support a Special Session at the 2008 Annual RESNA Conference to highlight cutting edge and leading edge work of leading scientists and engineers. RESNA, through its Annual Conference has been providing an interdisciplinary forum for over 25 years for scientists, researchers, service providers, manufacturers and students to come together to learn about the work, challenges and solutions of their respective professions.This special session will bring scientists and engineers that are outside the field of rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology together with individuals working in the field to learn about future trends and the potential impact these trends may have on technology solutions for individuals with disabilities. The Emerging Technologies Session will be a two and a half hour session with up to 3 presenters from the U.S. and potentially one international presenter. The objectives of this special session include:1. Providing individuals in the field of rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology with new strategies and approaches that may be of value to their current and future work with individuals with disabilities.2. Providing an opportunity for speakers to disseminate information about their work to an audience they would not otherwise reach.3. Building and/or enhancing cooperation among stakeholders regarding the development of technology solutions for individuals with disabilities. RESNA is an interdisciplinary association of people with a common interest in technology and disability.

这笔赠款将支持在2008年年度RESNA会议的特别会议，以突出尖端和领先的科学家和工程师的前沿工作。RESNA，通过其年度会议一直提供了一个跨学科的论坛超过25年的科学家，研究人员，服务提供商，制造商和学生走到一起，了解工作，他们各自专业的挑战和解决方案。这次特别会议将使康复工程和辅助技术领域以外的科学家和工程师与该领域的工作人员一起，了解未来趋势以及这些趋势可能对残疾人技术解决方案产生的潜在影响。新兴技术会议将是一个两个半小时的会议，最多有3名来自美国的演讲者，可能还有一名国际演讲者。本届特别会议的目标包括：为康复工程和辅助技术领域的个人提供新的策略和方法，这些策略和方法可能对他们当前和未来的残疾人工作有价值。为发言者提供机会，向他们本来无法接触到的听众传播有关其工作的信息。在为残疾人开发技术解决方案方面，建立和/或加强利益攸关方之间的合作。RESNA是一个跨学科的协会，由对技术和残疾有共同兴趣的人组成。
