News from John Williams of  ATECHNEWS
 
 
As we commence 2008, I want to tell you my vision regarding Assistive Technology
News' web site  www.atechnews.com

My first goal is to provide you with daily news in the Assistive Technology product area. We shall have new product announcements, critiques of products and news stories on users of AT products.
 
As often as we can, we shall keep you informed of federal legislation and regulations that impact upon the lives of more than 56 million people with disabilities and their families.  We are looking closely at the ADA Restoration Act, and we shall provide you with updates as they happen. Weekly we shall profile entrepreneurs and assistive developers, such as Jim Fruchterman of Benetech

Mr. Fruchterman's profile has produced responses from readers suggesting individuals to be profiled. We encourage you to submit others.
 
We shall be a prime source for manufacturers of Assistive Technology products to  expand their markets.
