Welcome to the Possibilities and Dreams wiki!

In 2005 PACER Center and India partnered to hold the first joint US-India technology conference. An outcome of that conference was a relationship with a non profit organization The Spastics Society of Karnataka(SSK). Over the course of the next two years a plan emerged to launch an assistive technology center at the SSK modeled after PACER Center's Simon Technology Center (STC).

IBM India donated 1011 computers and various assistive technology vendors donated software and devices valued at $18,000.00. A new 1,400 square foot building would house the new equipment and be home to this new technology center.

In October of 2007 Bridget Ames, coordinator of the Simon Technology Center, conducted 10 days of technology training at the new technology center in Bangalore, India on the donated software and devices. In November of 2007 Rabidran Isaac, Occupational Therapist at the SSK, traveled to Minnesota USA for follow up training.

This wiki is our central meeting place to plan and discuss all things related to assistive technology and help the SSK develop their skills in this specialized field. The hope is that the impact of introducing assistive technology will affect not only the SSK and their city of Bangalore but the nation of India. Check back regularly to review any new announcements, ponder and pose AT Questions, and share Success Stories. AT Resources will help expand knowledge of assistive technology while AT Vendors will link to vendors and product information contained in the SSK AT library.
