""Assistive Technology Partners' mission is for  persons with cognitive, sensory, and/or physical disabilities to reach their highest potential at home, school, work and play through the addition of appropriate Assistive Technologies (AT) that will enhance their quality of life. One way we achieve this is by offering a well-rounded educational program that reaches all sectors of the community. ATP provides courses designed for a wide variety of audiences that range from the consumer of assistive technology and their family to the professional AT service provider who works with them.  By offering affordable trainings, seminars, workshops, conferences, and formal coursework we strive to be instrumental in providing knowledge and resources to take the challenge and intimidation out of AT. For more information or the fee schedule, contact our Educational Coordinator.

The course listing below is categorized by content area. The intended audience and level of difficulty (i.e., Basic, Intermediate, Advanced) are also listed.

Assistive Technology Partners also offers an ongoing education calendar that is featured under Upcoming Events. If you don’t see the course you are interested in on our calendar, contact us and we can work with you and your group.
