About the Assistive Technology Adaptation and Training (AT-AT) Lab
The Assistive Technology Adaptation and Training (AT-AT) lab brings together rehabilitation professionals, engineers, students and people living in the community to find solutions to everyday difficulties. We use primarily open-source maker technologies like 3D printing, microcontrollers, and toys to create customized assistive technologies for – and with – people who need them. When it comes to designing and selecting assistive technologies, we believe that the most valuable perspective is that of the end user. More than a maker space, we are working to build the evidence that informs how devices are designed, delivered and introduced to users. We are currently collaborating with investigators at the University of Missouri, Texas Woman's University, Creighton University, St. Louis University, University of Kansas Medical Center, Cox College, and Washington University in St. Louis. The AT-AT Lab serves as the Mizzou chapter for two international organizations:
Neil Squire Society Makers Making Change
We also provide AT services for the University of Missouri Health amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) Clinic, an ALS Association Certified Treatment Center of Excellence.
The AT-AT Lab is proud to be housed in the Occupational Therapy Department at the University of Missouri College of Health Sciences.
