Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Art O'Leary:

We are doing some big research in this area. We have what he called blue-sky research. That involves an open research call to everybody who has expertise in all these areas, including assistive technology. We ask them to pitch research projects to us and we will fund them. That process is under way. I hope that this will reveal somebody, probably in a boxroom somewhere, with an idea about the use of technology which we will encourage. We look forward to seeing what emerges from that.
