NewsPress Releases: ===== For Immediate Release RESNA, The Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America, has announced that William R. Irvin, M.Ed., CRC, of Associated Rehabilitation Consultants has fulfilled the eligibility requirements and passed the credentialing exam necessary to become a certified Assistive Technology Practitioner (ATP). These requirements include a combination of relevant education and experience, as well as adherence to a code of ethics and rules outlined in the RESNA Standards of Practice. RESNA has developed this voluntary credentialing process in order to ensure consumer safeguards and increase consumer satisfaction with the service delivery process. The ATP credential is intended for service providers who are primarily involved in the evaluation and assessment of persons with a disability or work related injury, their assistive technology needs, as well as training and follow-up in the use of that technology. By passing the exam and meeting all eligibility requirements, Mr. Irvin has demonstrated a level of expertise to guide the consumer, including third party purchasers of services, in determining how assistive technology can help meet their needs. RESNA is a not-for-profit, interdisciplinary, association comprised of persons who share a common interest in technology and disability. The purpose of RESNA is to improve the potential of people with disabilities to achieve their goals through the use of technology. For more information about RESNA and the credentialing process, along with a directory of credentialed providers, consult the RESNA webpage at www.resna.org. |
