The Group aims to bring together those professional’s working in and/or with an interest in the specialist field of Access to Electronic Assistive Technology (EAT). EAT includes technology to help people communicate (e.g. AAC), daily living activities (e.g. Environmental Control) and leisure activities (e.g. reading, playing games etc.).

Our Objectives include:
To share learning and best practice. To recognise excellence and promote good practice.
To develop an evidence base for best practice. To facilitate the professional development of the group, including identifying and meeting any training needs.
To organise and facilitate a bi-annual conference. To promote an understanding of Alternative Access to the wider professional communities and public.

As well as planning and organising a two day national training event, we meet twice a year at a convienient location around the country and converse online in an email group. You can read the full terms of reference here.
