Dear All,

Please find below a summary of the interests that people have from
the last email sent out. If you have anything to add please let us
know and we can start moving forward with any ideas, thoughts for
2003.

1. Costs of products, how to keep them as low as possible.

2. Information sharing e.g. products and catalog sharing

3. Specific Assistive Technology needs of different population groups.

4. What kind of Assistive Technology training to give students before
they do an internship

5. An interest in monthly topics

There is already another yahoo egroup established for
students and professionals to discuss ideas and network
within the field of Therapeutic Recreation

http://groups.yahoo.com/ website. The name of the group is TRStud.


A copy of the original message

This group was started for:
People interested in Assistive Technology associated with Therapeutic
Recreation and recreation for persons with disabilities

Lately the postings have not been on this topic at all and I would be
interested to ask people in the group to answer the following:

1. What do you expect from the group?
2. Would you be interested in monthly topics?
3. Did you think it was a Therapeutic Recreation and Recreation
group, and not a group dedicated to Assistive Technology in this
area?
4. Should someone else take on the task of starting a Therapeutic
Recreation and Recreation group, separate to this one not associated
with Technology. If the answer is yes would someone be willing to do
so. It is easy to do this on the yahoo system.
5. What can you offer to the group from a Technological standpoint
– both low and high tech, in Therapeutic Recreation and
Recreation?
6. What would you like to learn about Technology associated with
Therapeutic Recreation and Recreation?
7. Any other information

So much is going on with Assistive Technology that we can work with.
Please keep this in mind and lets share our thoughts and ideas.

Thanks

Lorraine
