  style="font-family: arial\; color: #000000\;">How do we assess\, trial\, 
 and prescribe assistive technologies when an individual&rsquo\;s access me
 thod has become limited to the tip of their finger? How does that need sha
 pe an individual's access to their meaningful activities and how do they f
 ind the best match of AT to keep living a highly active lifestyle? How do 
 we guide an individual through AT options to find balance in their complex
  needs when we are working towards the outer limits of the functions avail
 able in AT products?<br />\nThis presentation aims to discuss high level t
 opics and engage ATPs in the intersection of prescription for CRT/power wh
 eelchairs\, alternate drive interfaces\, and ancillary technologies includ
 ing computer access and home environmental controls. We will discuss best 
 practices from research and current models of care for AT across the conti
 nuum. The purpose of the session is to acknowledge how prescription of ind
 ividual AT devices without considering needs for other AT in the user&rsqu
 o\;s sphere can create a gap in care and reduce quality of life overall an
 d how we can work to bridge gaps in prescribing AT within a holistic multi
 disciplinary scene. Live group discussions based on scripted polling will 
 be welcomed! We want to be able to create a space to discuss success stori
 es as well as challenging cases in order to utilize and catalogue collecti
 ve wisdom of AT experts and demonstrate effective models for early career 
 ATPs. Case studies will demonstrate how diagnoses such as SMA\, Fibrodyspl
 asia ossificans progressiva\, and other neurodegenerative diagnoses can ch
 allenge ATPS to work at the highest scope of our certification &ndash\; an
 d how they can drive improvements in assistive technology.&nbsp\;</span><b
