Hello to all our Karten Newsletter Readers
I hope you enjoy the articles in our summer issue. In this edition we have a great mix of news from Karten Centres, details of products from Assistive Technology suppliers and resources that I thought would be of interest to you.
The Karten team has had a busy few months visiting Karten Centres, supporting Centres with applications for additional equipment, supporting the work of Special Interest Groups, attending and exhibiting Assistive Technology events, developing our website functionality and much, much more!
We continue to work with TechAbility who deliver a programme of consultancy visits, webinars & events and develop AT specific resources. TechAbility activity is delivered specifically to develop capacity, confidence and staff skills in Assistive Technology in order to raise standards and improve outcomes for the people you support. All resources and most of the events and support can be accessed by Karten Centres free of charge. Check out the website https://www.techability.org.uk/ Access all webinar recordings on demand on the TechAbility YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlQNUqK0ICK7tEd8rGaBmFUF5Lu4yyH-p
The annual TechAbility conference will be held on 21st November in Birmingham: https://natspec.org.uk/events/techability-conference-raising-standards/
There will be a session on the programme just for Karten Centres providing you with the opportunity to Network with staff working in other centres. Save the date!
Finally, may I wish you all the very best for a lovely summer.
