Description
The Guidance on Myths and Facts Surrounding AT, released in partnership between OSERS and the Office of Education Technology, focuses on transforming learning experiences by reducing or removing barriers. Often, these barriers arise in the field due to misconceptions that lead to a lack of consideration for and underutilization of AT. This guidance offers the field and families an opportunity to overcome these misunderstandings and move forward on a more inclusive and equitable path.
