Start the school year with a better understanding of accessibility and technology. Attend this upcoming seminar to gain insight and guidance on educational technology, tools and platforms used to promote and facilitate learning in classrooms. Full and equal access to digital instruction and education is a critical priority of the National Federation of the Blind because inaccessible educational technology creates barriers for blind and low-vision students and liabilities for schools.
