Come join the NOAT community for an interactive, case-based session exploring how Assistive Technologies can meaningfully support real learners in real-world contexts. Together, we’ll unpack short learner case studies and collaboratively brainstorm practical, strengths-based technology solutions.

Through facilitated discussion, we’ll explore not only what tools might fit different scenarios, but how we introduce, teach, and support learners in using them effectively. Drawing on the collective expertise, shared insight, conversation, and concrete ideas to take back to your own practice.
