Description:

Research shows that Assistive, Augmentative, and Embodied Learning Technologies are essential for educators and therapists striving to create truly inclusive learning environments. But are we using them effectively? This dynamic session will introduce powerful tools, the research behind them, and real-world case studies showing how students can take charge of their own learning and communication. We’ll explore the U.S. Department of Education’s latest findings from Myths and Facts Surrounding Assistive Technology Devices and Services (2024)—revealing critical gaps in how we support student rights to assistive technology.

Instead of waiting until students struggle, we’ll discuss proactive strategies to engage learners in exploring these tools before they need them. Walk away with free and affordable resources that can be implemented immediately across all grade levels.
