ATP Series
Creating a Great ATP
Length of Service
Not surprisingly, most survey respondents are industry veterans who have dedicated many years to complex rehab technology clients. Results were rounded to the near- est percentage point.
Important Traits: ATPs Working As Clinicians
For an ATP working as a clinician, we asked how important the following traits are on a scale of
1 (Not important at all) to 5 (Ex- tremely important). Scores shown are the averages.
Clinical knowledge is at the forefront of this job, but partici- pants thought a formal degree less important than wisdom gained from working directly with clients.
Important Traits: ATPs Working As Suppliers
We asked the same questions about ATPs working as equipment suppliers/providers. As you might expect given the focus for an ATP supplier, knowledge of available technology was deemed more important — in fact, the most important skill — as was knowl- edge of funding policies. A formal degree got the lowest score here, perhaps an acknowledgment of how valuable hands-on experience is for this particular position.
