AT for the Outdoors

The warmer months are a great time to get outdoors and so we thought we'd have a look at some of the AT that helps you enjoy summertime in Australia.

We are excited to launch our new series 'AT+Me Check In', where we will be checking in with the stars of our AT+ Me stories and checking out their latest AT. Starting off is sailing superstar Tracy Odiam who takes us for a ride on the assistive technology that changed her life. We will also give the Alinker walking bike a thorough overview when Jean Gilbert gives you her opinion in our first AT Peer Review and then explains how she funded her new AT in her blog.

Our AT Peer Mentoring pilot program commences this month so subscribe to our newsletter now to make sure you catch all the upcoming news about this unique initiative!
