Description
Join the CAST team to explore the symbiotic relationship between educators and families during technology planning and use via the CITES Family Engagement practices across the CITES Framework. The intentional planning and training of family members and caregivers of all students is essential to building inclusive systems. For students with disabilities, ensuring families understand the use of technology, especially AT, is critical to achieving positive outcomes. The goal of the CITES framework is to empower school districts to create and sustain inclusive technology systems that serve all students, including students with disabilities who require assistive technologies and/or accessible educational materials.
