Chris Johnson has been a certified Assistive Technology Professional since 2006 and has been an employee of Numotion since 2010. Prior to the early 90's there were no standards, certifications, or qualifications for the employees that fit people with custom wheelchairs. Chris talks about the history of Assistive Technology as a profession and how you can learn more about joining this industry.
Chris makes reference several times to the organization that set the standards for Assistive Technology Professional, they give the certification exam and provide continuing education. Go to RESNA.ORG for more information on ATP certification.
NRRTS (National Registry of Rehabilitation Technology Supplies). NRRTS is the organization that certifies suppliers, Certified Complex Rehabilitation Technology Supplier, (CRTS) .Go to NRRTS.ORG for more information.
Another equally important organization is NCART (National Coalition for Assistive and Rehab Technology). NCART members are the suppliers, manufacturers, and other organizations involved in Complex Rehabilitation Technology (CRT) products and services. NCART's mission is to educate and advocate to protect access to CRT. Go to NCART.US for more information about what they provide to the CRT industry.
