Emma M. Smith, OT, ATP/SMS, PhD, Researcher

Emma M. Smith was trained as an OT before returning to school where she received her PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences. She is a prolific researcher making an impact on the study of emerging technologies centered around assistive technologies. Her desire to contribute her skills on a global level led her to become involved in the World Health Organization's Global Cooperative on Assistive Technology (GATE) initiative.With a broad and very deep list of affiliations and contributions - and a very busy schedule -  Dr. Smith joined me for a discussion about her background and her views on the world of assistive technology.
