Future of EdTech Assistive Technology & Special Ed
Ed tech is best when it's transformative and personalized. Explore how digital accessibility tools can level the playing field to make learning engaging and meaningful for all students. Empower student voices and provide multiple means for student mastery through Apple, Google, Microsoft, and third-party platforms that exemplify accessibility as well. See examples and student testimonials in how NYC’s District 75, the world’s largest and most diverse special education district, has implemented rigorous and accessible learning. Students are given voices, mobility, and independence in ways that were previously impossible. We’ll show how the ultimate goal should be increasing student independence and self-advocacy.
