Atomic Learning Offers Free Accessibility Workshop

In recognition of National Disability Awareness Month, Atomic Learning is offering its Accessibility: It IS Important workshop at no cost through December 15.

The workshop is part of the company's Supporting Accessible Instruction Spotlight, which  was developed to help educators:

  • understand the requirements to provide accessible materials and assistive technology under IDEA;
  • meet those requirements as it relates to classroom materials;
  • practice creating documents and forms that are accessible to students using assistive technology; and
  • build awareness of the barriers assistive technology can help students overcome.

The workshop is part of the Atomic Assist solution, which includes more than 5,000 online video tutorials on common assistive technology software and hardware to help educators support all learners.
