The Future is Now: Technology for All

For people without disabilities, technology makes things easier. For people with disabilities, technology makes things possible. (IBM Training Manual, 1991)

This quote has never been more appropriate for people with disabilities. We are in exciting times: technology is everywhere. Tablets, smartphones, chromebooks, “the Cloud”, Wearables. What does it all mean? Let’s explore technology and, more importantly, its broader application in our schools. How can we harness all these great tools to effectively meet the needs of ALL students regardless of ability? The future of successful technology integration starts today!

Experience:

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.
