Prof. Mac MacLachlan received the Honorary Fellow award. RESNA Honorary Fellow Awards recognize non-members who have promoted issues and demonstrated leadership highly relevant to the field of assistive technology and rehabilitation engineering, and who have encouraged the independence of individuals with disabilities. The award was given to recognize his contributions to advancing the field of assistive technology at the global level, including his work to promote equity for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups in policy development and implementation.
Dr. Emma Smith received the Distinguished Service award, which recognizes members for their sustained contributions and service to RESNA and to the field of assistive technology and rehabilitation engineering. Dr. Smith was recognized for her her contributions to the RESNA Professional Standards Board, Special Interest Groups, Board of Directors, Student Design Competition, Annual Conference, and as the incoming Editor-in-Chief of the Assistive Technology Journal.
