Welcome to the Access Technology Trainer Forum. This is a professional community for trainers, educators, and rehabilitation specialists who teach or support students learning access technology.
Monthly Lessons and Live Discussions
Forum members receive two written lessons each month: one technical lesson and one pedagogical lesson. Each is paired with a live Zoom discussion led by CathyAnne Murtha. The lessons are practical, detailed, and designed for trainers who want to strengthen both their teaching strategies and technical skills.
