My name is James Northridge, and I have spent the last ten years working with assistive technology to improve the experience of people with disabilities. In my experience as a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, I played a significant role in researching AAC technology with a focus on developing a unique and robust technology selection model for non-verbal students. In addition, as a LEND fellow in Boston, I was granted the opportunity to explore the US health system and how disability law impacts all.In 2013 I launched UrAbility - a company that specialises in providing Assistive Technology (AT) online training for parents, teachers and SNAs to empower students to reach their full potential. UrAbility has been distinguished by its unique approach in offering online and face-to-face teacher training and guidance to schools committed to enabling education for all students. We believe everyone deserves to learn, and our approach is targeted towards our students' success. Following my education background, I attained a Master of Science in Rehabilitation & Disability Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Business Information Systems. I also earned a LEND Fellowship from the University of Massachusetts Medical School.To discuss my extensive experience in assistive technology expert witness reporting and disability-related research, please connect with me on LinkedIn or directly at james@urability.comSpecialitiesAssistive Technology (AT) ● Expert Witness Reporting ● Research ● Universal Design for Learning (UDL) ● Conference Speaker
