ITS is on a journey to share all technology within the District that supports students. Today we’re learning about the world of AAC—Augmentative and Alternative Communication—and Assistive Technology, or AT. We will discuss technology tools, low, mid, and high tech, that support learning and improve communication, engagement, and participation for thousands of our students every day. Whether you're an educator, a family member, or a service provider, today’s conversation is for you.
