Assistive Technology Training – Making Your Technology work for you
Without proper training, technology itself can be a barrier
Once the appropriate assistive technology (AT) solution has been identified, it's important to understand what the AT does and how to make this new technology work for you. Some technologies are simple and intuitive, but many incorporate numerous powerful features. Learning to use these features can often be overwhelming, intimidating, and frustrating. At that point, the technology itself can become a barrier.
ATI provides assistive technology trainings geared to meet your learning style. From training, application strategies, and technical support, our AT Specialists strive to make certain that your assistive technology gives you the results you want.
Whether you are new to the world of assistive technology or an AT veteran looking to advance your skills, our Assistive Technology Trainings are designed to “make your technology work for you”.
ATI’s Specialists are here to assist with your
- Cognitive and Learning,
- Communication,
