Emerging Technologies - Tools for the Future

Bailey RESNA，北美康复工程与辅助技术学会（RESNA）向美国国家科学基金会（NSF）申请资助，以支持2007年度RESNA会议的特别会议，以突出？前沿和前沿？国内和国际科学家的工作。25年来，RESNA通过其年度会议为科学家、研究人员、服务提供商、制造商和学生提供了一个跨学科的论坛，让他们聚集在一起，了解各自专业的工作、挑战和解决方案。在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，这个机会将在年度会议上继续进行，并通过将康复工程和辅助技术领域的外部科学家与该领域的工作人员聚集在一起，了解未来的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，从而得到加强。新兴技术会议将是一个两个半小时的会议，最多有3位来自美国的演讲者，可能还有一位国际演讲者。该活动的目标包括：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与残疾人的工作有价值。为发言者提供一个机会，使他们能够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。该组织的目标是通过使用辅助技术来改善残疾人的功能限制。为此目的，RESNA促进研究和发展、教育、宣传和提供辅助技术，同时支持从事这些活动的个人。

CBET-0730035 Bailey RESNA, the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA) requests funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support a Special Session at the 2007 Annual RESNA Conference to highlight the ?cutting edge and leading edge? work of national and international scientists. 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.With support from NSF this opportunity will continue at the Annual Conference and be enhanced by bringing scientists that are external to 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 such an event include: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.Providing an opportunity for speakers to disseminate information about their work to an audience they would not otherwise reach.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. The goal of the organization is to seek to improve the functional limitations of individuals with disabilities through the use of assistive technology. To that end, RESNA promotes research and development, education, advocacy and the provision of assistive technology while at the same time supporting the individuals engaged in these activities.
