Assistive Technology Industry Association

**The Assistive Technology Industry** ( **ATIA** ) n’umuryango udaharanira inyungu, ugizwe n'abakora, abacuruza n'abatanga serivisi cyangwa ibikoresho by'ikornabuhanga bifasha abantu bafite ubumuga. ATIA ihagarariye inyungu zabanyamuryango bayo mubucuruzi, guverinoma, uburezi, ninzego nyinshi zikorera ababana nubumuga. Intego imwe ya ATIA ni "kuvugana nijwi rusange" kubutumwa bwayo ni ugukora nk'ijwi rusange ry'inganda zita ku ikoranabuhanga (AT) kugirango ibicuruzwa na serivisi nziza bigezwa ku bafite ubumuga. 

ATIA yashinzwe mu 1998, iyobowe n'Inama y'Ubuyobozi igizwe n'abantu 10.  ATIA ifite abanyamuryango barenga 120 kugiti cyabo no mubigo. Ibiro byayo biherereye i Chicago, muri Illinois.

Kuva mu 1999, ATIA yakoresheje inama ngarukamwaka zitanga amahuriro y'uburezi n’itumanaho kubimenyereza umwuga bakorera ubumuga.  Inama ngarukamwaka irakingurwa kandi ku bafite ubumuga, abarezi babo, abo mu muryango wabo, ndetse n’abaturage muri rusange. Muri 2009, ATIA yatangiye gutanga urubuga rwa interineti rwigisha kugirango rukorere ayo matsinda.  ATIA yakoze kandi inama ku bufatanye n’umushinga uhuza akazi hamwe n’umushinga w’ubucuruzi muri Amerika (USBLN). Ibisubizo byatangajwe muri imwe muri iyo nama ni *Ikarita yo Kuzamura Akazi k'abafite ubumuga binyuze mu ikoranabuhanga ryoroshye* .

## Ibisohokayandikiro
ATIA itanga ikinyamakuru gifasha ikorana buhanga hamwe n'inyungu Ikinyamakuru (ATOB) m'ubufatanye bw'ubumenyi n’ikigo cyihariye gishinzwe ubufasha bw’ikoranabuhanga (Centre SEAT) muri kaminuza ya Leta ya Illinois . ATOB itangaza ingingo zijyanye n'ibisubizo n'inyungu z'ikoranabuhanga rifasha ababana n'ubumuga ubuzima bwabo bwose. ATOB ni urungano rwasuzumwe buri mwaka, rwatangajwe bwa mbere mu 2004.

## Inganda zisanzwe
ATIA igira uruhare mubikorwa bisanzwe byinganda binyuze muri Accessibility Interoperability Alliance (AIA). AIA yatangijwe mu 2007 nk’umuryango wigenga nitsinda ryambere rikoresha ikoranabuhanga (IT) hamwe n’ikoranabuhanga rifasha (AT), abatanga ibikubiyemo, n’indi miryango ikomeye y’ubuhanga. Kuva icyo  bagiye bakora ibishoboka byose kugira ngo bateze imbere ibipimo ngenderwaho no gufatanya mu gushakira igisubizo ibibazo bimaze igihe bibangikanya bibangamira iterambere ry’ibisubizo by’abafite ubumuga.    Muri 2010 AIA ihinduka ishami rya tekiniki n'ubuhanga muri ATIA.

## Abafatanyabikorwa
ATIA ifatanya n’indi miryango mu bijyanye n’ikoranabuhanga no mu bijyanye n’ubumuga mu rwego rwo kuzamura gukoresha no kumenya uburyo ikoranbuhanga rishobora kungura abantu babana ubumuga.  Abafatanyabikorwa ba Alliance ni:
