Dolphin's Paul Thompson joins the board of the ATIA
7th Feb, 2008
Dolphin is today delighted to announce that Paul Thompson, Dolphin Sales Manager for the US, was elected onto the board of the ATIA (Assistive Technology Industry Association). Paul was honoured to be put forward for selection and is eager to use his considerable knowledge and expertise anyway the ATIA sees fit.
The ATIA is a not-for-profit membership organisation of manufacturers, sellers and providers of technology based assistive devices and services, based in Chicago. One of the core aims of the ATIA is the ability for the Assistive technology industry to “speak with a common voice,” especially when communicating with the US government on common interests, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Paul has been involved in the Assistive Technology industry for many years and is able to bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise that can only be a benefit to the ATIA. This ranges from, Paul’s input into the development of Dolphin’s revolutionary alternative format creator software, EasyConverter. By utilising his own personal knowledge of the different alternative formats required it ensured that during the development of the software, the customer was always at the forefront of Dolphin’s mind. To his continuous drive for improvements in the awareness and development of Dyslexia software, stemming from a role Paul held previously as well as during his time with Dolphin Computer Access.
Everyone at Dolphin wishes Paul the best of luck as he undertakes this new role in addition to his day job with Dolphin Computer Access.
