Thethird workshop explored issues in technology fOr employment. Papers presentedconsidered such topics as barrier free office design., factorsin choosing technology for the job site, accessAo the total workenvironmento and, innovations in adaptive (equipment and job site modifications.

Beyond,data, you will Come to see that people are the key element at all stages in' the development and delivery of assistive technology. As we begin to acknowledge that disabled people are, "expert witnesses" of their own needs, we must also recognize that technology has no value separate from the people who transform theory and practice into utilitarian devices. And, beyond individuals, both the technologistand'the disabled person work within a complex weof social/technical institutions that must be coordinated for the effective deliveryof-rehabilitation technology. To visualize the interaction betteen physical impairment, medicine and engineering we may examine The International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (WHO Chronical,.Vol. 34, 1980, pp. 376-380) which defines three keY stages in the evolution of a handicap. Impairment: any loss or abnormality of.psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure-or function. Disability: any restriction or lack of ability resulting from an 'impairment to perform an activity in the manner ox within the range considered normal. Handicap: a disadvantage for a given individual, resulting from an impairment or a disability, 'that limits or prevents the fulfillment of a role that is normal (dependingin age, sex, social and_cuLturalefactors) for that individual. The interaction between these, three'phases in the ddvelopment of .aphysical lhandicap are traced below. It is the primary role of the health careprofession °DISABILITY medicine. 441-.s\ engineering. enaineering medicine (with.backup from engineering) to minimize the progressionfrom impa4rment to science community seeks, disability: In a complimentary sense, the engineering with support from the medical profession, to reversethe tendency.for a disabil- ity to induce a handicap. When associated with impairment, the contributionof engineering, science'is: Often expressed as tools for diagnosisand treatment,"assistive technology." When directly applied to disability, it isexpressed ash tools for living, of our "assistive devices."

By Alan K. Engen ver the years, skiing has had its share of sad stories involving injury, and sometimes even death, to participants of the sport. Being an action sport, Oskiing carries an element of risk, especially to competitive ski athletes who put their safety on the line on a regular basis. Such was the situation for a young, beautiful, and very talented skier named Jill Kinmont. In January 1955, Jill Kinmont was considered one of the top women skiers in the country and had been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. It was strongly felt by many noted ski authorities that she would be named to the 1956 U.S. Olympic Team. One of the main qualifying events for Olympic Team consideration in the 1950s was the Snow Cup giant slalom which was a nationally recognized FIS “A” level competition held annually at Alta, Utah.
