Description

Sonoran UCEDD trainees found a unique setting to learn about assistive technology and global health through involvement in initiatives at ARSOBO (Arizona Sonora Border), a social business employing individuals to construct medical devices that they themselves use (wheelchairs, prosthetics, and hearing aids). Trainees learned about the impacts of the assistive technology and collaborated with a variety of professionals, gaining mentorship and exposure to a foreign culture.
