ISTE · ATIA · Closing The Gap · Council for Exceptional Children
Many teams don’t struggle to find assistive technology. They struggle to use it. The device gets ordered and ends up in a drawer. The app gets installed and never opened.
The goal is to break that pattern: match the right tool to the right person, and make sure it actually gets used in the classroom, on the job, and in daily life.
Who this work is for
Schools & districts
Conference & PD organizers
