Abstract
Transferring innovative technologies from the university to the manufacturing sector can often be an elusive and problematic process. The Rehabilitation and Engineering Research Center on Communication Enhancement (AAC-RERC) has worked with the manufacturing community for the last 10 years. The purpose of this article is to discuss barriers to technology transfer, to outline some technology transfer strategies, and to illustrate these strategies with AAC-RERC related activities.
Notes
1 We substitute knowledge translation for dissemination, recognizing it is more inclusive and descriptive of the broad range of activities that affect practice and the daily lives of AAC users or other stakeholders. Our activities include a variety of knowledge exchange and transfer as well as important technology transfer processes.
