Abstract

The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Technology Transfer (T²RERC) hosted a "State of the Science" conference in November, 2001. The conference reviewed technology transfer work within the field of assistive technology, and summarized related work in public, private and academic sectors. Invited speakers prepared papers on various topics concerning technology transfer, and related their findings to the field of assistive technology during the ensuing discussion sessions. This paper provides an overview of the material presented by the participants, and explores the implications of their findings for one particular field of application - assistive technology for people with disabilities.
