Pam Fields, Founder

CEO, ATECH

Pamela Fields is a leader in the field of assistive technology for independence, especially in devising new approaches to independence as it relates to people with intellectual disabilities (IDD). Her pioneering efforts are grounded in a 40-year career in leading agencies that provide services for people with IDD and other complex disabilities and medical needs.

With an undergraduate degree in Human Services and a MBA with a concentration in non-profits, Pam has the foundation and the vision needed to move the field of assistive technology forward in new and exciting ways. As a passionate advocate for the rights of people with developmental disabilities and their services, Pam founded the Assistive Technology Training Center of Connecticut to assure service providers have a place to gain knowledge and build capacity in cutting edge assistive technologies and families can benefit from best practices in how to support their loved ones with disabilities.

Pam envisions a world where each person can be as independent as possible, fully connected to and autonomous in their communities, regardless of their barrier issues.
