He demonstrated how to use 3D printers to create accessible signage and tactile graphics using the same simple tools used to create lithophanes.</p><p>At ATRI, Anson has spearheaded research and development since its inception in 2003.

The screening tool allows people without advanced training to assess the architectural barriers of the built environment for people with disabilities.</p><p>Anson, a resident of Noxen, holds bachelors and master&#8217;s degrees in occupational therapy with training in research, gerontology and nerve/muscle physiology from the University of Washington.
