AbleNet offers two programs designed to build capacity and at the same time, extend a district’s AT dollars. The first program focuses on providing customizable AT solutions for self-contained classrooms, bundled with support so that the teacher is successful with implementation. The second program is free to school districts and clinics and offers the opportunity to obtain medically funded speech generating devices for their students/clients with communication disorders. Come learn how these programs can build capacity within your district, while also making your budget go further.
Target Audience: K-12 Administrators, school and clinic based SLPs, OTs, AT Specialists, Special Education Teachers in self-contained classrooms.
