On this week's show we're welcoming Conor Hartigan from the Educational Assistive Technology Centre at the University of Limerick. University of Limerick's Educational Assistive Technology Centre is a unique resource that uses state-of-the art technology and training to create learning environments that work for people with disabilities. The Disability Support Service at the University of Limerick opened this purpose-built lab in 2018, complete with technology designed for use by people with a range of disabilities, so that more students can access university courses and other educational pathways without barriers.

This week we're meeting Kellie Mote, Subject specialist: strategy (assistive technology) at Jisc. Jisc provides digital solutions for UK education and research and UK universities and colleges with shared digital infrastructure and services, such as the superfast Janet Network. Jisc also offers expert and trusted advice on digital technology for education and research, built from over 30 years’ experience. Kellie Mote provides strategic advice and guidance that helps members ensure their digital content is accessible to everyone.

Welcome to a brand new season of Remote but not Restricted. We're kicking things off by sitting down with the wonderful Antony Ruck. Antony holds many positions in the Assistive technology sector, including CEO at Aventido LTD, Co-President of DATEurope, Vice Chair of the British Assistive Technology association (BATA) and Conference Director for ATEC - The Assistive Technology Exhibition and Conference.

In the last Remote but not Restricted of 2020, we’re re-visiting with old friends. Vitoria Alves joined us way back in August when she was about to start her journey in Trinity College Dublin, so how is she getting on? Stuart catches up with her to find out. Its been an incredibly strange year and Stuart is sitting down with our Head of Education Carolyne Smith to talk a little about the year that was and to look forward to a hopefully brighter 2021.

Welcome back to another episode of Remote but not Restricted. This week Stuart is catching up with Alan McGillivray, the latest member of staff to join Sight and Sound Technology, working as part of our training team in Scotland.

This week we’re starting the first in an occasional short training series, where we’ll give you some quick tips to maximise the use of your Assistive Technology. We’re kicking things off with some nifty things you can do with JAWS and multiple voices.

This week we're chatting with Kristy Viers, a vlogger and former student who is totally blind and living in Michigan.

This week we're talking transitions, and are delighted to be catching up with Molly Hobbs, from the Thomas Pocklington Trust, and Callum Russell, who has recently started a new position as Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Surrey Police.

On this week's show we're delighted to sit down and chat with Neil Beck from Natspec. Natspec is a membership organisation for specialist colleges within the UK, and also provides training to the wider sector regarding young people with learning difficulties and / or disabilities.

There's no doubt that thorough training in the correct use of technology pays dividends in the long-term. At Sight and Sound Technology, training is a key part of the service we provide, and on this episode, Stuart meets Will Marshall, one of our trainers based in west Scotland.
