| An Accessible Life | A Short Film Assistive
technology users and their life experiences
are represented in the contributions of our
consumers depicted in this film. This work focuses
not only on their challenges but highlights their
success and the role that assistive technology has
played in helping them achieve their goals.
Additionally, you will see contributions from the
NCATP assistive technologists and family members.
These people have worked with and supported these
users becoming their allies as they embarked on a
new way to attend school, interact with others,
participate in meaningful work, express their
spirit, share their knowledge and enjoy the
narrative of struggle and victory that their lives
have become.
