This interactive fireside chAT brings together assistive technology (AT) professionals from diverse practice areas to explore what unites us: a shared passion for people and the technologies that support them. Through personal stories, practical examples, and thoughtful discussion, panelists will challenge and reframe common misconceptions about AT.

Together, we’ll examine how AT moves from being available to truly adopted, highlight everyday technologies that began as AT, and discuss strategies for increasing meaningful use in real-world settings. The conversation will also center the human behind the AT, reflecting on the values that guide our work and offering actionable advice for practitioners at all stages.
