Holiday Season Brings 50% Reduction in Book Price
Washington, DC – People have more to cheer about this season because between
November 1, 2004 and January 2, 2005 Concurrent Technologies Corp.
Foundation is selling Assistive Technologies: Expanding a Universe of Opportunities
for People with Disabilities for 50% of its original price.
“The $49 price covers the On-line, CD and print versions of the book,” says
Howard McClintic, executive director, CTCF. “We believe the book’s spirit
of expanding opportunities for people with disabilities matches the soaring
spirit of the holidays,” adds McClintic.
With the addition of 8 manufacturers of assistive technology products, CTCF
and Assistive Technology News have expanded the most comprehensive list of
assistive technology manufacturers worldwide ever published. A sample can be
seen by visiting (www.atn-ctcf.org). An order form is in the sample. To order
either by check or credit card contact CTC Foundation at 202-312-2913.
“The book’s goal is to fill a vital need among employers and employees with
disabilities looking for assistive technology products that are used in the
workplace and in other areas to increase independence among people with
disabilities worldwide,” says the book’s author John Williams, who believes these
products are great equalizers for people with disabilities. He has written
about assistive technology products for 25 years.
Expanding the list of AT manufacturers monthly is a goal of the publishers,
Assistive Technology News and Concurrent Technologies Corporation Foundation
(http://www.ctcfoundation.org), who intend to keep the list current.
“By updating the list regularly, we add value to the book and guarantee the
public and private sectors that they have access to the most current
information in this field,” says Howard McClintic, executive director, CTC
Foundation. McClintic says a section on bionics will be added to the book.

assistive technology manufacturers in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia,
South America and Asia. Employers looking for information on products
benefiting speech impaired, blind, visually impaired, deaf, hearing impaired,
physically challenged, cognitively-challenged, mobility challenged and mobility
challenged employees will discover it in the book.
With millions of aging employees with disabilities requiring assistive
technology to maintain their productivity and efficiency, and millions of working
age people with disabilities unemployed, this book provides employers with a
one-stop shopping source in the field of assistive technology products.
Employers will find information on voice recognition systems, text-to-speech
products, Braille products, keyboards, low vision products, hearing products,
environmental control products, and other products to increase independence and
employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
