Event: WHO Online Master Training Workshop for Measuring Access to Assistive Technology
Assistive Technology, Events, Global, November 10 2020
The WHO Online Master Training Workshop for Measuring Access to Assistive Technology will take place on 17-19 November 2020. The workshop is an integral part of the development of the WHO-UNICEF Global Report on Assistive Technology (GReAT).
The resolution on improving access to assistive technology (WHA71.8) mandates WHO to develop the global report in the context of an integrated approach, based on the best available scientific evidence and international experience by 2021 and progress reports every four years after until 2030.
This workshop will kick-off the global initiative of national surveys using the rapid Assistive Technology Assessment (rATA) to measure the need, unmet need of and barriers to access AT in the population. The workshop aims to:
- ensure common understanding of the purpose and process of the survey among all stakeholders;
- provide step-by-step guidance on the survey methodology and implementation to national data coordinators and the survey teams;
- discuss and finalize the national survey deployment plans.
The workshop will be hosted on ZOOM platform. The provisional agenda of the workshop is as below (time is indicative in Central Europe Time). Detailed programme and online meeting login information will be sent out in the next days.
rATA questionnaire: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese
