The SC Assistive Technology Program (SCATP) is pleased to announce
the appointment of Carol A. Page, Ph.D. as our new Director. She has
been on staff with SCATP for over five years and during this time has
also worked for the Carolina Autism Resource and Evaluation Center
(CARE) and the ABC Special Needs Program. As the staff
speech-language pathologist for SCATP, she has been active in
conducting assistive technology trainings at the state and national
level, performing consultations and supervising the equipment loan
program to serve individuals with disabilities in SC and those who serve them.

A graduate of USC, Dr. Page holds the certificate for clinical
competence in speech-language pathology in addition to being a
RESNA-certified Assistive Technology Professional. She was
co-recipient of the 2008 SCSHA Award for Professional Program of the
Year for the SC Assistive Technology Program for outstanding service
to the speech-language pathologists of South Carolina.

Prior to her work at SCATP, Dr. Page was a speech-language
pathologist serving individuals of various ages and disabilities
across SC in the areas of severe communication and swallowing disorders.

The SC Assistive Technology Program is a federally funded program
concerned with getting technology into the hands of people with
disabilities so that they might live, work, learn and be a more
independent part of the community. As part of a national network of
technology-related assistance programs, our goal is to enhance
independence, productivity and quality of life for all South
Carolinians through access to assistive technology devices and services.
