We have curated a collection of companies that create assistive technology products. During the research process, we invited each company to contribute a blog post. The purpose is to facilitate more connection between readers and these companies.

Hi all!

This is RJ and I've been helping to create and advance the field of Assistive Technology since 1983! Yes, I'm one of the early ones ;-) And my programs/apps/inventions/adaptations have all come from actually working, hands-on, with learners/users of all ages and challenges. My specialty is the more severe/profound population.

I hope you get a chance to browse my offerings here at NWACS and/or my website, rjcooper.com. Everything I make is *probably* appropriate for your setting. Unlike most others, I address a wide audience of challenges (vs. just 1 or 2 products). I want to change a person's life, or at least contribute to that.

That's why, over the years and still currently, I listen to what 'you' want and try to create or adapt it. You explain your need and I try to fulfill it. Software and/or hardware. My unique background of Electrical Engineering w/Digital Emphases (U of UT) and B.A. in Dev. Psych (UCI) and M.Ed. in ASD (ASU) make me quite qualified to address the technical as well as the pragmatic/functional.

So I hope you'll give me a chance to become your tech 'buddy'. I *love* brainstorming together by email, Zoom, or phone (800-RJCooper).

Warmly,

RJ Cooper
