The right assistive technology can be life changing.
Children’s Therapy T.E.A.M. physical therapist Eric Pate has seen the tremendous impact of assistive technology throughout his career in pediatrics. Eric specializes in assistive technology and recently shared his expertise with KNWA/Fox 24. As one the station’s local therapy experts, Eric was called into action to discuss the use of wheelchairs, standers, and other technologies with one of his past clients who will be featured on the station in 2022.
Combining both his 25 plus years of experience in the field of physical therapy and his understanding of equipment, Eric is able to support clients in remarkably impactful ways. He carefully selects and fits equipment with clients and trains stakeholders on how to best integrate technology to support daily living activities.
There are a wide range of assistive technologies which Eric works with including wheelchairs, canes, orthotic devices, adaptive switches, and more. Eric not only holds a specialized certification as an Assistive Technology Professional (ATP), but he also draws on his many years of experience in the field of PT with 13 of those at Children’s Therapy T.E.A.M.
Eric provides ongoing pediatric durable medical equipment training and education for Children’s Therapy T.E.A.M. therapists and families. He also collaborates with key stakeholders including physicians, durable medical equipment providers, referral sources, and Children’s Therapy T.E.A.M. therapists in offering whatever is needed to ensure successful technology and equipment integrations for clients.
