The project aims to meet the training needs of health and social service professionals working with disabled persons, in particular staff who are responsible for training in Assistive Technology (AT) centres. The project focuses on developing professionals' skills in using AT with disabled persons as part of a lifelong learning process. Project partners will undertake a review of training practice and guidelines in different AT training centres and initial university training courses. Research will be desk-led and will involve an exchange of information between the project partners. The AT training needs of professionals will be assessed by means of direct interviews with the target audience, with employers and with disabled persons. These interviews and the comparative research will inform the project's development of a series of guidelines for AT training, which will be sensitive to the different professional profiles and national contexts of various target groups. Based upon these findings, project partners will develop innovative ideas for AT training units and will seek peer-based validation of these proposals through active consultation. The comparative research and supporting guidelines will be available via the project website and in the form of a 16-page multilingual brochure, produced to summarise the project findings and to raise awareness of the project website. Beyond the project partnership, universities, VET centres, AT centres, professional organisations, employers and direct beneficiaries of AT training will be consulted about the project as part of an ongoing peer review process and dissemination plan.
