  Digital assistive technology initiative
 
  Dear Sir or Madam,

Digitization has been playing a major role in the context of accessibility for a long time now – and the best way to move big things forward is to join forces. Initiatives such as DATEurope come at just the right time to draw attention to the importance of digital tools on an international level. To find out where the initiative currently stands and what its next steps are, read our article: Digital assistive technologies: Modern tools to make life more accessible.

Have a nice week!

Bastian K. – That's how he rolls
How we roll

Bastian K. is a summer person at heart. He enjoys spending time with family and friends. In doing so, the lack of accessibility often causes him more difficulties than the progressive muscle weakness he has been living with for many years. When he is not on the road, he writes about his "life with PEG" on his own blog. On REHACARE.com he tells us how he rolls otherwise.
