Multidisciplinary Postgraduate Education in AT: Challenges and Opportunities
Multidisciplinary Postgraduate Education in AT: Challenges and Opportunities
There is a growing recognition that a multidisciplinary approach to Assistive Technology provision is required in order to produce effective rehabilitation services. While Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology professionals may work with the same patients, their approaches can be very different. Professionals may therefore need training to help them move towards a more integrated and collaborative approach. This paper will explore the opportunities that multidisciplinary postgraduate courses in Assistive Technology may bring and identify possible challenges to its success. Features of a newly developed Masters in Assistive Technology at Kings College, London will be used to illustrate these opportunities and challenges

Abstract
There is a growing recognition that a multidisciplinary approach to Assistive Technology provision is required in order to produce effective rehabilitation services. While Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology professionals may work with the same patients, their approaches can be very different. Professionals may therefore need training to help them move towards a more integrated and collaborative approach. This paper will explore the opportunities that multidisciplinary postgraduate courses in Assistive Technology may bring and identify possible challenges to its success. Features of a newly developed Masters in Assistive Technology at Kings College, London will be used to illustrate these opportunities and challenges
