by RESNA
RESNA (Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America) is a non-profit professional organisation founded in 1979. With over 1,000 members — including engineers, occupational and physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and AT practitioners — it is the leading body advancing the field of assistive technology in North America.
RESNA administers the ATP (Assistive Technology Professional) and SMS (Seating and Mobility Specialist) credentialing exams, the gold standard for AT practitioners. It publishes position papers on power wheelchair funding and wheeled mobility standards, runs an annual conference, and maintains a credentialed professional directory that consumers can use to find qualified seating and mobility specialists in their area.
AT professionals seeking certification and continuing education, consumers navigating complex rehabilitation technology decisions who need a qualified specialist, and policymakers and payers seeking industry standards and clinical evidence.
