As a subscriber of the mailing list, you will from time to time receive disability related news, including the dedicated AT-Info-Map Bulletin which focuses on news and events related to the At-Info-Map project and assistive technology in general.

You can help us spread the word by sharing information and articles related to assistive technology in Southern Africa and beyond published on this site to friends and colleagues or anyone you may know or not know.
