Dick Lunenborg Email & Phone Number

I began my career teaching in primary education. Observing the under-utilization of technology in the classroom, I developed an interest in technology and its different applications in enhancing education. In 2002, I began working at the Bartiméus Institute, a national non-profit organization for the visually impaired. In my new role, I develop and manage ongoing projects on the implementation of innovative technologies in the education of visually impaired pupils as well as for children and adults with combined sight loss and multiple disabilities. Furthermore, I intermediate between the work-floor (professionals working within the education and care sectors) and technology (the software and hardware, and those who develop it) and provide consultancy on inclusion in education and wider integration through technology.

Listed skills include Accessibility, Assistive Technology, Nonprofits, Special Education, and 20 others.
