Assistive Technology (AT) and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Our mission is to assist families, educators, and professionals in Santa Clara County with building their knowledge, use, and implementation of Assistive Technology (AT) and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) for students with disabilities. We believe every student has individual needs and for some, it is appropriate to meet those needs through assistive technology to foster success within the classroom and community.
Team
Our team consists of Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists and teachers of the Orthopedically Impaired who have extensive experience assessing and working with students in the areas of assistive technology.
