Virginia Department of Education's Training and Technical Assistance Center (T/TAC)

The TK26 planning committee invites all interested persons to submit proposals to share their knowledge and innovations during the conference's 75-minute breakout sessions on Tuesday, November 17.  This year’s conference’s theme will be “AT in Action” and submissions aligned with this theme will be given preference. Sessions including active participant engagement are also preferred and the AT Network may be able to assist with providing hands on materials to support your presentation.

Through this conference, we seek for participants to not only learn about evidence-based assistive technology (AT) in educational, vocational, and community settings with students of all ages and disabilities but also gain skills that empower and equip them to implement high-leverage practices in their day-to-day work and activities. Target areas include AT for transition, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), inclusive technologies, literacy, numeracy, executive functioning, early childhood, family engagement, and AT related to the Virginia Essentialized Standards of Learning (VESOLs).
