Hi Everyone

It's been a busy year so far in Enable Ireland’s AT Training Service.  Our Foundations in AT Course took place during Feb, March and April, and was oversubscribed, with 25 participants completing the full course. Foundations in AT is delivered largely on-line with just three days of face-to-face training in Microsoft. If you’d like to know more about how to upskill yourself through future Foundations in AT courses, check inside for details. In addition our Community Design Challenge 2015, in partnership with Dublin Institute of Technology, Purdue University and Leckey was a resounding success and the winners were announced last week. A joint Graduation/Prizegiving ceremony for participants from both the course and the CDC will take place in Microsoft on 30th September.  

This issue includes two contributions from Expert AT  Users, Christina McCarthy and Padhraig Dormer.  Read too about our blog: www.atandme.com, where you’ll find regular AT updates. We are always looking for new contributors to our blog, so why not consider adding to the rich store of information there, for the benefit of AT users, families and professionals?

As we head into August, I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and look forward to linking with many of you as we enter the busy autumn period.
