ATIA: AT Needs Backup: Why Digital Accessibility Can’t Be Optional

9:45 am – 10:45 am
January 30, 2026

This session explores the critical need for aligning AT solutions with accessible digital content to ensure the educational and workforce advancements of individuals with disabilities. While AT can enhance independence and opportunity, its effectiveness is limited when paired with inaccessible materials. Laws like Title II of the ADA and Section 508 address this issue, but technical complexity hinders implementation. Three federally supported centers—NCADEMI, the Rhonda Weiss Center for Accessible IDEA Data, and Alabama’s AT Act Program—will demonstrate concepts, tools, and strategies to bridge this gap. Leave with resources to begin creating more accessible digital experiences for users of AT.
