AT for the festive season: a note from the Editor:

Welcome to our Christmas edition of our AT e-zine.

It's been a busy year with lots of new technologies enabling people to live lives of their own choosing, with a greater degree of independence.

This issue includes a useful guide to accessible presents (a very hot topic at this time of year), as well as a piece focusing on tips for those of you using mobile devices: the iPad and iPhone. Maximising the accessibility of your own device using a variety of onscreen keyboards can turn your mobile device into an indispensible item in the length of time it takes to download an app.

Here you'll also read about a recent exciting project which we were involved in: our very own AfroCelt Techno-Tele-Trad Session! Read more about how a young man using Eye Gaze technology played the bodhrán in a music session with students in Guinea Bissau in West Africa, to celebrate International Day of People with Disabilities.

Read too about our forthcoming training events, including our Foundations in AT Course which commences in February 2015.
