On May 15, 2012 at 2:00 p.m., Qatar’s Assistive Technology (AT) Center Mada will be holding an open workshop with programmers and developers in Qatar to explore the role and benefits of Open Source Assistive Technologies for social good. AT developer and researcher EA Draffan will demonstrate the recent release “AT Bar” and “AT kit” to explore how developers can support the development of technologies that benefit people with a disability or who are struggling with a standard web browser.
