ATHelp's Fee-Based Services
Although our services are free to users of A.T. (thanks to grants that fund our work), we also offer vendor support on a contractual basis. We have provided professional insight to such developers as Kinems, LC Technologies (Eyegaze), Panther Technologies, AMDi, Scanning Pens, Don Johnston, The Unicef Innovation Fund, and more.
Working as a generalist in the field of Assistive Technology for almost 40 years Mark Surabian has extensive experience in every aspect of the field—from programming SGD's, to repairing wheelchairs, developing AEM, and even creating new areas of AT. Having served the needs of almost 10,000 individuals across his career, he has an extensive and practical understanding for addressing the accessibility needs of people with communication, learning, vision, hearing, physical, and even self regulation challenges.
Mark has extended his direct services to trainings as well, having served the needs of well over 200 schools and agencies in his career coupled with a 30 years as an instructor within higher education. Currently he's an instructor on Assistive Technologies for NYU's doctoral program in Occupational Therapy, and within the graduate schools of Education for Bank Street College and Saint Joseph's University. He also had adjunct positions at Pace University Ed Tech program (before it was dissolved) and Brooklyn College's Speech Department. Because of Mark's years of experience in public speaking he has been recruited by many companies to be a spokesperson for their products at conferences and events, offering a direct service provider's perspective regarding the viability of the tools being presented.
