AT is a perfect way to get talented specialists to work together. AT takes one child and a set of challenges that a special education student faces and builds technologies that assist the child. No one expert can build, adapt, train, repair, and upgrade these technologies. They must all work continually to serve the child.

The list of team members would follow (roughly) this priority list:

1. The child
2. The parents (primary care givers)
3. The family (grandparents, etc.)
4. The teachers (support staff: social workers, TC's , etc.)
5. Experts who know the child (OT, PT, HI, LD, POHI, AI, VI, etc.)
6. Medical experts who know the child
7. Technical/community experts

1. Saginaw Intermediate School System (Bay, Midland, ever widening as time passes)
2. Saginaw Valley State University (OT's, but ever widening over time)
3. Field Neurological Institute (the medical community- ever widening)
4. Saginaw Futures (State and local governments interested in innovative product development)

A future oriented interest; knowledge of trends
Ability and desire to think and act with bold resolve
Leadership ability (empathy, diplomacy)
Expertise in a relevant domain- special education; medical rehabilitation, etc.
Willingness to see objectives through to completion (several years)
Knowledge of funding avenues and authority to influence funding
Practical skills or knowledge relating to one or more of the product pipelines
Experience guiding concepts from conception to production
Experience teaching/working with children in special education

The internet is the greatest organizational, communications, and knowledge management tool in history (the largest invention ever created by human beings). We can/will (as we have done here) provide a focal place in cyberspace for every child and every team. What it becomes is only limited by the power of human imagination and courage.
