I have extensive experience in presenting in all areas of Inclusive Technology, Assistive Technology, Design Thinking and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

I can work with you to customize a presentation to match your needs.

I am well versed in:

• Live presentations
• On line (both synchronous and asynchronous)
• Hybrid courses
• Half day / Full day trainings
• 2 – 5 day extensive in-depth technology workshops
• On-going professional development activities to build AT capacity within your organization

I have presented nationally and internationally on a variety of topics, including a 2 day live training event titled AT Bootcamp: Assessment delivered to the staff of the MADA Assistive Technology Center in Doha, Qatar.

I was a key member of the team that developed and delivered the Assistive Technology Applications Certificate Program (ATACP), a hybrid 100 hour certificate course in assistive technology from the Center on Disabilities at California State University, Northridge. For more information about the ATACP, visit the website.

Let’s work together to make your next event a huge success! Complete the form to start the conversation.
