Research, Development, and Commercialization

Currently funded projects of the Center for Assistive Technology include:

Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Technology Transfer (T2RERC)
USDE/NIDRR
This center: 1) advances the methods of technology transfer through research projects, 2) transfers technologies into products through development projects, and 3) facilitates the commercialization of new and improved assistive devices through utilization projects.

Project UDP: Developing a Tool to Measure Universal Design Features for Play (2003-2005)
USDE/OSEP
This project will develop and validate a tool to identify and evaluate the usability of toys for all children (birth to three), including those with disabilities, by examining the universal design components. The UDP tool will allow parents of children with disabilities, individuals who purchase toys (childcare providers, hospital workers, commercial buyers) and toy designers to successfully identify toys with universal design characteristics.
