Abstract:
Capturing the outcomes of assistive technology (AT) is essential to know what works and what is needed. The global alliance of AT organisations, GAATO, have brought global stakeholders together to articulate the challenges related to outcome and impact measurement as a first step to finding solutions.AT stakeholders across all global regions took part in a collaborative consensus process to identify the AT Outcomes and Impacts Grand Challenges of our time. The project leads will present the innovative methodology used, the extensive dataset gathered, the results of the Grand Challenge process and what this means for RESNA and all of us.

As part of the global assistive technology community, RESNA and its members are integral to solving the complex problems of getting good AT to those who need it.
This presentation discusses contemporary data, to which RESNA members have contributed through GAATO AT Outcomes and Impact consultations, and provides an opportunity with the project global leads, to consider: where to from here in our local and global practice

Learning Outcomes:

• Identify and define grand challenges through the use of 4 major criteria.
• List the 6 grand challenges in assistive technology identified by global stakeholders.
• Identify up to 7 challenges (long list) associated with the grand challenge of informing policy.
• Describe how identifying the grand challenges can enable GAATO to do 4 things.
