Description

Plug into this Community of Practice (CoP) to connect with education professionals from across the state who support individuals with disabilities. Each month, we'll explore new topics on how assistive technology (AT) can reduce barriers and increase access to competitive integrated employment. Together, we'll share tools, strategies, and success stories that help individuals build independence, self-advocacy, and confidence through AT solutions tailored to their employment goals.
