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.

Individualized training services teach skills and confidence

ATI’s one-on-one trainings are designed to teach the consumer what the technology does, where to find and how to operate relevant features, and how these features will benefit the individual user. Application strategies provided during the sessions allow the individual to apply these features to meet their specific needs.

Hands-on workshops for groups

ATI’s hands-on group workshops are similar to one-on-one trainings. Small group trainings are conducted in our Salem lab or at your office. During these trainings, participants use their devices and software.
