PaTTAN Technology Adventure For Students with Hearing and Vision Needs
Description:
The PaTTAN Technology Adventure for Students with Hearing and Vision Needs is an opportunity for students, families, and educators of children with vision and/or hearing needs to explore assistive technology (AT) and to network with supporting community partners in their own region. This event is unique in that it allows participants to have hands-on experiences with AT devices and to meet face-to-face with vendors and agencies who can help teams discover, acquire, and maintain access to AT during key transition points throughout their educational journey.
