As well as my main clinical role, I am (and have been) involved in a number
of projects. Those of current interest and some previous
projects are listed below.
In the last year I have collaborated with the ACE Centre,
Dundee University, SIT
and DART
on this project which evolved from a collaboration between myself and the ACE centre.
The main outcome of the project is a website for which I was lead developer.
This website provides a central place for users to find free and Open Source Assistive Technology Software and also provides tools for open source developers to encourage them to develop EAT applications.
Evidence Base within EAT
Evidence base is a popular term at the moment, however it is generally agreed that the evidence base within Assistive Technology and rehabilitation is poor. I have collaborated with Aejaz Zahid at Barnsley to produce some practical tools to help develop and document the evidence base.
Switch Access
I have recently collaborated with David Colven from the ACE Centre to publish "Switch Access to Technology, a comprehensive guide." This is one of the first publications specifically dedicated to switch access and aims to standardise switch access terminology.
Human Computer Interaction
My main research interest is the potential application and relationship between HCI and EAT and I have presented some preliminary work on this. I believe that HCI offers a number of models that could be applied to EAT. HCI is particularly relevant in the area of switch access but would also have a lot to offer other EAT tasks and could help develop the EAT evidence base.
RAATE
I am on the committee of the RAATE conference and am contributing to the effort to make this conference more relevant to the Assistive Technology field.
PIADS
I am collaborating with a colleague at ACT on evaluating the PIADS outcome measure for use with Environmental Control. EC Care Pathway
I have input into ACT's Environmental Control Care Pathway, including organising a two day training session for local OTs. South London AAC Care Pathway
I was heavily involved in the creation of the South London Care Pathway for AAC and the original presentation remains on this site for legacy.
I use CiteULike combined with JabRef to manage my evidence base.
