Symposium on Disability, Technology and Rehabilitation in Low and Middle Income Countries

The International Program on Disability, Technology and Rehabilitation (IDTR) at the University of Washington serves as a networking hub for individuals working in the field of disability and rehabilitation. Affiliates work to address the technology and rehabilitation needs of people with disabilities who reside in resource limited environments. This is achieved through building a community of practitioners and academics who are committed to advancing this field. In 2013, IDTR along with the several sponsors, hosted the Symposium on Disability, Technology and Rehabilitation in Low and Middle Income Countries to bring together relevant stakeholders who focus on improving and increasing access to technology and rehabilitation products and services with the goal of ensuring full inclusion and participation for people with disabilities in low-resourced communities in low and middle income countries.
