Returning to school means it’s time to start thinking about the 2025 TAAT Conference!

For more than 20 years, the TAAT conference has been the place to go to explore the latest tools and resources available for supporting students in the special education setting. Content is interactive, practical, and specifically designed to support special educators, AT specialists, related service providers, and families/caregivers. Plan to join us this year for sharing, learning, and networking with others who empower students through the use of assistive technology!

“Assistive technology refers to a wide range of tools, products, software, and apps that help children with disabilities do something they otherwise couldn’t do. In more formal terms, assistive technology is defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as, “any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of a child with a disability.” Assistive technology can help with nearly any skill, and can be easy to use. AT ranges in complexity from simple, low-tech solutions — a crayon with a large foam grip that helps a child to color independently — to high-tech communication devices that can verbalize the thoughts of someone who needs help to speak”. — Pacer Center
