Take some of those good ideas that were generated at our SIG 11 business
meeting and make it happen!!  

Instructional Course Ideas:
     
	Troubleshooting computer software/hardware access problems
     
	Computer access assessments--strategies, techniques, methods used
        when assessing ability to use a particular device, working with a
        'team', preparing for the assessment, etc. 

	Show-n-Tell or case study presentations 

	How to start a computer access evaluation service on a limited budget
        (what equipment to buy, marketing services, etc.)  

	Developing a PowerPoint presentation
     
	Working with interdisciplinary teams
     
	Assistive Technology in a managed care setting

If you have any other ideas for courses which are not listed above or if
you'd like to co-present along with one or more other persons and your
looking for another interested party, please contact me and we'll get a
message sent out on the SIG-11 distribution list.
